Purple_Cheetah 04/04/23 8:47:39 AM #6:	bluezero posted... Sounds pretty secure. Someone said they did that, but the thing is they had it buried within a game's readme or w/e file, deep in the bowels of a directory. That method at least makes some sense, but still iffy. I know of someone that'd put it in a notepad and just take a picture of it on their phone. ...

Who the fuck pays for a subscription when you got a notepad on your computer lmfao Assuming this isn't a joke, having a document with all your passwords in plaintext sitting on a device connected to the internet is probably far less secure. CaptainStrong posted... Why would anyone use a password manager that saves your passwords on the fucking Internet?

BlazinBlue88 04/04/23 9:50:41 AM #10:	CaptainStrong posted... Why would anyone use a password manager that saves your passwords on the fucking Internet? You clearly don't understand encryption. The company itself (employee or hacker) isn't able to see what your actual username/password information is. It's like giving them a locked safe to hold onto for safe keeping but not giving them the combination. That's the idea behind it anyway. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png <cite>BlazinBlue88 posted [p:972629441] in LastPass n...

It's like giving them a locked safe to hold onto for safe keeping but not giving them the combination. That's the idea behind it anyway. Encryption doesn't protect data forever. All encryption types will eventually be cracked. Just like the safes you used as an analogy. And if some vulnerability is discovered in the way they do shit, everyone using it is fucked.

My computer isn't a massive target for hackers. LastPass's servers are. You're not wrong. All encryption will be cracked eventually but currently AES-256 encryption is the gold standard. It hasn't even come close to being cracked. If/when it is cracked, yeah everyone is fucked cause many governments including the US uses AES-256 to encrypt top secret level information. AWS uses AES-256 for the thousands of companies that use their services. If/when it is cracked, their will be bigger fish to fry for hackers than end user passwords. Also yes you are correct that your local computer isn't a massive target for hackers. But now you need to deal with all the risk that comes with having those passwords on a local computer. Hardware failure, burglary, home flood/fire damage. It's up to the individual to see what they consider more of a risk and if the convenient features of cloud based password managers are worth the possible trade off. --- http://i.imgur.com/R15aJJ3.png http://i.imgur.com/NJqp6LS.png <cite>BlazinBlue88 posted [p:972630831] in LastPass n...

You may not be a target for hackers, but if you do happen to download an infected installer or get malware on your computer by any random means, it will often scan your computer for what looks like passwords or personal information, which can later be used against you.
