Current Events > Do you use a password generator (e.g. Keepass?)

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just started using KeepassXC and it's really intuitive and integrates with my browser quite well. Gotta figure out my phone, but I do like what I'm doing with it so far.

Do you have any passwords you use without the randomness?

LOL Keep Ass

uh but seriously, no. i dont trust any of these companies to be around 10+ years from now so what will i do when they go out of business and i dont realize and dont know my password.

i'd rather just use 2 factor authentication

It's not something you pay for, plus even if somehow it all ended and you couldn't use it anymore you could export everything to a CSV file

Good point here though, this does fix most issues around security

thats true. but knowing me id probably forget lol.

i like the idea of a random password generator, but all that really does it prevent people from 1) guessing your password or 2) brute forcing their way into your account. oh and i guess using a known password on another account.

thats why i like 2fa

BUT it doesnt stop scammers from social engineering your phone company to send all texts to their phone pretending to be you

ah fuck. theres no security. we're all doomed
