Pass phrases do nothing to help you manage unique passwords for every site and then expire them when necessary.
Sure pass phrases are great for encrypting your password database, but they are not a substitute for password management.

- arielweisberg 13y agoI agree, but haphazardly shaming products/developers is not a way I want to do it. I don't know how long such a statement is going to hold true once I have made it. Also glass houses and all. If someone maintained a database of products and how they interfered with the use of a password manager or good password hygiene and there was a way to get off the naughty list then that would be great, but that is a lot more work.
- nknighthb 13y agoI wish you'd raised that idea like, three days ago. I would have had time to work on it. :)
- gambler 13y agoI'm curious, how can you design a product that prevents the use of password managers?
