What rubbish is this?
Does the author not understand entropy or probability?
Deriving an RSA key from the product of two memorizable numbers makes it brute-force-able, and sends us back to 1990s export controlled encryption strength.
Tattoo-ing a key on one’s arm (however ridiculous) would be better than the methods here.
- imcotton 2y agoNow, brute-force my private key and post new blog entry with your wallet address, I will send you rewards.
- Too 2y agoYeah. This removes one factor in 2FA by deriving something you have by something you know. Almost equivalent to going back to username+password and use your favorite git hash as your password. If you are truly paranoid about loosing your ssh key, get a hardware yubikey instead.
