Isn't this backwards? If the autocomplete doesn't show up that's a flag that the password is going somewhere it doesn't belong. If you're always copy-pasting from a password manager then you're not getting that check "for free".
Obviously SSO-y stuff is _better_, but autofill seems important for helping to prevent this kind of scam. Doesn't prevent everything of course!
- tptacek 1y agoNone of this password manager configuration stuff matters; we've just got Passkeys set up for the account now, which is what we should have done, but didn't, because we spent the last 2 years with one foot out the door on Twitter altogether. Since this attack happened despite Kurt using 1Password, I'm really not all that receptive to the idea that 1Password is a good answer to this problem.
- rtpg 1y agoI guess I'm just saying "1Password with autofill" will help more than "1Password without autofill". We can always make mistakes of course. And yeah, sometimes we just haven't done something.
