The difference is that you control your data with the password manager, not a third party that can be bribed or coerced to grant access on your behalf or to hand over data associated with you.
- diminoten 8y agoOpenID isn't built like that...
- ttoinou 8y agoOkay, but still, your pwd manager could get hacked
- jobigoud 8y agoCompletely different threat model. Unless you use an online password manager, the only copies of the file are on machines you control. Plus the file is encrypted and requires a password that only exist in your head. So now you need physical access and physical violence to break that scheme.
- ttoinou 8y agoIf one uses Windows one could get hacked any time. Global pwd would be stored in RAM. But yeah if you're a security freak on Linux it's a good idea !
- zxcvbn4038 8y agoAs always, using a second factor like yubikey is also a good idea. Unless your that guy who leaves the key plugged into his laptop all the time. I think I’m going to go around the office one day and replace all the yubikeys I find with Hersheys miniatures chocolate bars.
