Random follow-up thought:
If the password manager is cloud backed, you're at risk of a LastPass-style data breach. If it's local only, you're at risk of someone confiscating your device also removing your access to all your online tools.
(I think I'm edging towards "measuring secureness is really hard", which isn't where either of us came in).
- surgical_fire 1y agoGood points, that also point to security being orthogonal to convenience. Rather than being opposite to one another, they are in tension. Alternatively, you could have a local password manager that syncs the encrypted passwords database to a private remote server, for example.
- flir 1y agoI really like "in tension". It implies, to me, an inverse relationship but an elastic one. Not a simple 1:1.
