The nice thing about the protocol is that the client-side app can actually be replaced. All you need is something that will manage the private key(s) and properly respond to the authentication challenge through the protocol handler. So the

If this protocol got implemented widely, I think there would be some value in creating an alternative app that essentially combines this with a local password database. The app could automatically generate site-specific keypairs, and you wo

It seems like your device is completely replaceable in this scheme. The keypair is derived solely from the email address and the master password, so you can just generate the same keypair on a new device.

I agree that a compromised 1Password application poses a much bigger threat than Dropbox access. But instead of a malicious attack, I would argue that it's more important to protect against a bug or faulty code. Based on 1Password&#x27

Sure, there are scenarios where limited permissions won't make a difference, but there are also scenarios where it will make a difference, and that's what matters. Of course, it's up to 1Password to decide whether those scena

If you have 2FA enabled on your Dropbox (and probably your email too), then taking just your credentials won't give the attacker access. Also, an attacker logging in to your Dropbox would leave a trace in your activity log.

I don't doubt that targeting the elderly as a growth segment would be a good idea for the entire industry. It's just that your original comment suggested 7-Eleven in particular was in danger, which didn't jive with my persona

Your comment seems to imply that 7-Eleven is in trouble, but it's still the biggest of the convenience store chains, which is why the other chains are consolidating. I don't know about their profits, but revenue is growing year af

Divisor in the sense of greatest common divisor is not the same as a denominator. More to the point, we may indeed care about greatest common divisors, but we also care about least common denominators (i.e. least common multiples)

Maybe you're thinking of divisor instead of denominator?

As a golfer, that code would have already been golfed down to: num.to_s.chars.map &:hex So digits only saves 14 characters (22 if reverse is really necessary). But usually we would actually be doing something with the digits instead of

In addition to coldtea's examples, DK is particularly thrown around in competitive gaming communities, such as Reddit/Twitch around Dota 2 and League of Legends. I admit that it may not be as prevalent in the mainstream as other p

If you've ever run a website that doesn't verify email addresses, you will likely run into this problem. The average person doesn't double check for typos, and they can't discover it after the fact because they didn&#x27

I'm not quit convinced about that. 1) Aren't there people using generators like Diceware that don't do the password management part? 2) The industry's definition of "high security" is constantly changing. Passw

That's a fair point that in general, password fields aren't copyable. So I do think that retyping passwords has value, but disabling pasting may have questionable value. (In my experience, disabling pasting on email confirmation f

How is that a solution to the problem of user error (i.e. mistyping)? Are you making an implicit assumption about password manager use and mistyping, that somehow your heuristic will be able to differentiate? That seems like a lot of work f

by level3 10y ago
As someone running a user-facing site, you cannot control whether your users use password managers. So what's your solution? Just disregard the segment of your users who don't use password managers? That's a tradeoff that you

I always assumed it was for the same reason sites make you enter your email address twice without pasting - to reduce the chance of mistyping. If you only have to enter something once, then you could easily mistype it and then you end up wi

In general, newspapers serve the same ads to all their users, so approximate circulation roughly correlates to an ad's reach. Websites don't, so even if you knew a website's pageview count you would have no idea what percenta

Indeed, I previously lived in a 2LDK in a very nice tower mansion in that ward (in Shibaura, near Mita Station), and that was around 700sqft for under $2500. I was sharing with a friend (so my rent was only half that) but it was amazingly c

Have you tried black-and-white comics, like most Japanese manga? In my own experience, I've had that jarring feeling when reading full color comics, but only rarely for black-and-white (regardless of origin). I think full color makes i

These examples depend on the use case. If you are guaranteed to only have one sender and one receiver, then having them in the same table is already normal form. Perhaps (?) a less controversial example is a table of flights between airport

I'm curious: what are the advantages of having your access layer rely on column indices rather than column names?

Is this an eBay thing? In general, PayPal doesn't require buyers to have an account to pay by credit card. Edit: What I mean to say is that AFAIK, paying by CC through PayPal is separate from your PayPal balance.
