This is exactly what a password generator that does spy on you would say.
- janalsncm 4y agoThat is definitely true, but you can check for yourself on the network panel. It’s generating the passwords client-side.
- beardyw 4y agoWithout wishing to rain on this, there are now a number of places where information can be stored locally (local storage etc, cache) and transmitted in bulk at some point in the future. Or simply, it may be reliable today, but will it be tomorrow. It's hard.
- janalsncm 4y agoThat’s . . . a good point. And because of the permissions model of browsers they usually don’t have to request to store cookies or localstorage. On a related note, the best way to destroy a hard drive is to use a plasma cutter or a nail gun. https://youtu.be/6JPwXjCZj6o https://youtu.be/6JPwXjCZj6o
- beardyw 4y agoI'm not sure sarcasm was called for. If you are doing something related to security you need to get it right. No permissions is needed to use local storage so far as I know. And in a separate comment I did complement you on having produced this. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/localStorage https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca...
- janalsncm 4y agoSorry I didn’t mean it as sarcasm at all but rather a failed form of dry humor. Rereading it I can see how you would see it as sarcastic. I’ll edit the last bit, which I added because I find it independently interesting.
