> The fact that Chrome offers to bring my passwords from browser to browser, means that they are being stored in plaintext by Google. Why do you think that they cannot bring encrypted passwords from browser to browser?

True. And I guess that's the only way LastPass could be certain these passwords have been reused (assuming everything else works as they say). If they did that, then IMO it would be very nice of them to point out which dump(s) these

It's not a given that brute forcing is the strategy the attacker would choose. That might just lead to their Tor & VPN IPs getting quickly blocked, if they aren't already. There are only around 1500 Tor exit nodes and it&#x2

I have planned a very similar thing. I'll probably have it in my custom keyboard's firmware once I'm done building it. The idea is one or more "master" password(s) that can be stored in keyboard's RAM (so you
