So you have to change everything + the master password, that is 1 more than you would have to change, had you not used it. Without a password manager, you could just give them the passwords they wanted, if you remember 20+ different random passwords. Otherwise you are reusing your passwords and so have to change most of them anyway.
>If you were dealing with a reasonable system
That this could seriously be described as "reasonable" shows just how much things went wrong.
- tempestn 10y agoI use a password manager and certainly wouldn't stop because of this, but no, without one you only have to change the passwords you give them. That would be a handful of passwords to SM accounts and such. If I give them my master password I have to change ALL my passwords. I have several hundred passwords stored. And yes, I agree that having to show border guards your facebook account isn't ideal. It's a hell of a lot more reasonable than just giving them all your passwords and having them run rampant through your digital life without your even knowing what they've done or seen though.
