At least the door was closed I hope.
Yeah, I'm looking at you accessible Amazon Bucket. -
Rohr7305yThis is so frustrating.
Every time I am telling AND explaining someone to use secure / unique passwords and a password manager, I feel like biting on Granit.
"This is so complicated"
"Do I really need this"
"I don't have nothing to hide"
"'They' already know all about me"
"It is not safe to store all password in one place"
This is so stupid. And all of them are shopping on Amazon, have credit card informations stored in multiple online services and so on.
Behaving like this is literally like leaving the door opened and the key under the mat. It is just a matter of time until someone stepped by and notices it. -
@Rohr Password managers really *are* more of a liability than anything. They introduce a single point of failure.

@NinomiyaNexus Agree, specially when you use multiple devices. I prefer passwords that are strong but easy to remember, or a short set of steps to generate passwords and reproduce them later, this way I remember the steps but not the password. (ie: take the site name, capitalize it, divide it and append X digits, add a %, etc.)
(And no, I don't trust the cloud to store passwords). -
Rohr7305y@NinomiyaNexus yes if you use em wrong. You have.to know where you database is stored ( physically ) and know how to get access to it in any case.
I see that this is not an easy thing to do and not obvious for everyone right away.
But there are many solutions out there that work great - even offline in case of an outage or lack of cell service, etc.
Hopefully some people figure life out in the future.
