   A random 20 character password in base 72 is equivalent to a 124 character password in base 2. They have the same amount of security: 124 bits. https://convert.zamicol.com/#?inAlph=0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLM... If a service d

   Password strength is: Unknown entropy - known entropy = password strength Where "unknown" entropy is known only to the user and service and "known" entropy is any entropy known by a third party. Since this is

   There is no way to tell if a password is strong since it may be reused. Instead services should provide a random password so the strength can be known. For example, this is a 128 bit password: CR4EOJ5ZYQRKCGQV4OLN2ZRFS. Since that is a rand

   Passwords should just be random numbers, and services should provide a suggested password on the sign up pages. Here's a 128 bit password: CR4EOJ5ZYQRKCGQV4OLN2ZRFS. Better than all that is public key authentication.

   I wish there was a bigger push for integrity checking in the browser. It would be foundational to any solution that fixes that problem. There is already integrity checking for subresources: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-

    I've been meaning to make a web page that's a "Shrine to No", but not in the context he's speaking. From an informational perspective, "Yes" is meaningless without "No". If "yes" can b

    I mostly avoid getters/setters in Go code, unless I have a lot of functions all related to the same thing similarly named. It's the return type that denotes the return. It's already in the function signature. That advice is

    I second this. I would love to see a raw demo that doesn't hide the internals.

    This demo would be far more useful if it displayed the public key that was used. As a developer, this appears more like a superficial sales pitch than a technically informing demo.

    We need public auditing of these organizations. Organization that operate secretly will always provide some refuge for corruption. There are always blind spots for management. If the public has no input, how can we ever trust them?

    Exactly! Google doesn't get this. Google has a commitment image problem. As a consumer I've not seen them address this with the seriousness it deserves. Since they won't commit to their products, their customers are relucta
