A password manager is a single point of failure and should be avoided. I've heard other sad stories about someone who's pw manager was compromised and they lost everything.
- pksebben 4mo agoout of curiosity - what scheme do you suggest? I've always been of the mind that 'one thing to remember and secure, but secure it well' was the best option - 2factor and a 15+character passphrase meaning that nearly everything else gets it's own discretized blast radius. Always open to better security, though.
- WalterBright 4mo agoHave a different password for every account, and don't store them on your computer.
- rurban 4mo agoTrue for KeyPass or 1Password, but not for GNU pass.
- hnlmorg 4mo agoWhile you’re not wrong in principle. It’s still the least worst in the vast majority of cases. I think the bigger problem is using your pw manager for 2FA too.
