Some days I agree with you. Some days I don't.

I've been poking the internet bear for over 30 years. That's quite obvious if you read the other articles on my blog. I'm not one to back down from a fight when I think someone is in the wrong. And yes, sometimes I've pa

I mean, "mark as spam" is basically "burn before read," which is what I did to him. The difference, I guess, is that I told him I was doing it, because, like I said before, I think ghosting people is rude. YMMV. Regardin

The user's suggestion wouldn't actually solve the problem the user wanted solved. If there are scheduled messages queued to be sent when Thunderbird starts up, then Send Later sends them immediately, before the user has a chance t

Wow, out of all the things I've written on my blog, _this_ makes it onto the front page of HN. How droll. BTW, just to be clear, I wasn't the one who posted the link here. I don't think it's particular relevant to what H

In this day in age it is common for a two-year-old SaaS startup not to have an office. I mean, I suppose it's possible that they have one, but my assumption is that the entire company is remote. I don't see why their location is p

Google and Github both built their U2F support for Firefox before WebAuthn was released, and as you've pointed out, the U2F support in Firefox is gated out by default. Presumably Google, Github, and other companies that coded to U2F wi

We didn't use the word "comprehensive", "complete", or "thorough", and obviously we didn't include every password manager in our evaluation, so I'm not sure what reason you have to believe that w

>More bugs and the support was horrible. ^^^Yes, this. In 2018, we reported nine different substantive security holes to LastPass. At least two of them were security issues. All of them took far too long to fix; some of them still aren&#

Yes, my initial evaluation was flawed because I was looking at the free version of Bitwarden, but supports neither U2F nor attachments, but the evaluation grid said that it didn't support U2F but did support attachments. I've upda

There is substantial functionality which is only available in the native app, not in 1Password X, and therefore completely unavailable on Linux. If the 1Password X claims that its functionality is comparable to the native version, then it i

LastPass doesn't have a native app because it doesn't need one -- when the browser plugin and web vault are working properly, they provide all available functionality on every platform. The problem is that the plugin does not alwa

You're correct that the Linux support for 1Password is severely lacking, which is why I called that out in my evaluation. LastPass, on the other hand, is in a different category. It _claims_ to have full Linux support, and for a long t

We did not set out to evaluate every single password management product. We set out to evaluate the products which where enough "in the ballpark" of what our company needed that there was a chance we would end up using them. There

It was a cosmetic, not a security-critical bug, so there's really no reason why it needed to be released right away. Also "a few days" was just a guess. I noticed that it was a problem, then I noticed a few days later that th

Your "facts" may be correct, but they actually have nothing to do with the article linked above. The article linked to above isn't about voting machine hacking, it's about voting web site hacking. And the voting web site
