- jhanschoo 6y agoI a simple algorithm to generate a password based on the name of the service you are using, interleaved with a constant master password you remember. You can do the same thing with a password-manager password + clipboard, interleaved with a constant master password you remember, which should be even better.

Personally I use rofi-pass to access GNU pass passwords (so just a hotkey and search for password name) I'd warmly recommend it (or whatever other client you use for GNU pass) but I'm sure you can find similar functionality for any other decent password manager.

- lawtalkinghuman 6y agoInstead of checking the TLS certificate or the domain, you are depending on fak3b00k.com not implementing the same title tag as Facebook?
- Saris 6y agoThat's something to think about. But I'm not sure how I would end up on fak3b00k.com unless something changed my bookmark for it, or I really mistyped it but if I did that the URL being different is a dead giveaway.
