Getting your account back on reinstall is good

Razengan 2mo ago
I can fucking type my username and password, thank you. And I prefer to see and choose the data an app stores on my fucking ICLOUD ACCOUNT. And fucking DELETE it when I want. There's no way to do that from an iOS device.

    I thought your other comments about writing your own were sarcasm about how that's such a terrible situation if that's the kind of thing it would take. But this one looks like you actually mean it? Yikes.

    Someone should follow you around saying that to you every time you complain about anything

Maybe, so long as it's optional.

It's massively confusing to users though.

That's what a username and password are for. I'd rather not be forcibly tracked.

  I have 200+ different passwords stored in iCloud Keychain, each 20+ characters long. How am I supposed to remember all of those? Do you use the same password on every site? How do you deal with data breaches?

    You can just use your own password manager and it wouldn't automatically do anything to apps on reinstall, right? Or a physical notebook, maybe.

      I’d love to have my own password manager that syncs between all my devices without relying on a third party server, but I don’t know of one. Do you? A physical notebook is so easily lost I wouldn’t even consider it.

        I use KeepassXC and Syncthing. It's not a single password manager doing both the managing and syncing, but it works very well, and I sync between phone/laptop/desktop without any third parties.

        Do they work on iOS?

        Keepass database is an openly documented format, and there are several apps available on iOS that use it and can store the database in your iCloud (ie syncthing is not required, unless you need to sync to non-iOS devices) Just search for keepass in the app store (Keepassium, KeePass Touch, Strongbox, ...)
