I use a password locker.
It makes me wish there was an open standard for sites to negotiate a new entry with a password manager, something automatic in the background for new registrations.
Site could send password restrictions, like allowed and required character types, minimum length, even maximum length, though that last one would be frowned upon. The locker would reply with a preferred username and random password and add same to the database upon acceptance.
- borplk 13y agoGod damn what you mentioned is a brilliant idea. I wish there was some standard for it. These are problems that I'm often inclined to work on solving, but unfortunately they are also the kind that need lots of time and adoption and formal procedures and acceptance from a large group of people to go anywhere so I tend to just day dream about them for a little while then give up, hoping some standard body or an organization like Mozilla do something about it.
- brownbat 13y agoWhats the barrier to an RFC? Can just anyone submit one? I'll try a writeup if anyone thinks it's worth putting out there.
- borplk 13y agoI don't think there's any significant barrier to publishing it (probably no barrier at all). But my perception is everything comes after that ... this kind of stuff tends to be very slow moving.
