  And the best part is there are solutions already that do this: https://keepass.info/ Does it work on Android or iOS? - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Ask HN: Why do people use Password Managers?

  The key difference here being that this is two way hashing so passwords can be decrypted. In reality, there are a lot of attack vectors like MITM, event logging or sometimes straight up storing data in plaintext. Through these hackers can generally get passwords of all users of these services. So, why don't people use local password managers? Just a txt file encrypted with "master password" should be pretty... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Google-hosted malvertising leads to fake Keepass site that looks genuine

  When you're at a point where you're relying on a display name to make security-critical decisions, you've already lost. Character substitutions like ķeepass or ƙeepass or keypass are at least possible to spot if you know the name of the product, but not the full URL. But there are many ways to create lookalike domains that don't change the product name: https://keepass.org https://keepass.net https://keepass.info... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Google announces passwordless by default: Make the switch to passkeys

  > People love to hate on passwords but the reality is that for many circumstances (threat models) they are the best compromise. You can make them more than strong enough (take 32+ bytes out of /dev/random and encode however you like, nobody will ever brute force that in this universe) and various passwords managers solve the problem of re-use (never reuse a password). > And it comes with the benefit that you... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• If you cannot download any books, then you’re on one of the scam sites

  If you have used this combo at many sites (which is of course not recommended) then download one of the available free Password Managers like Keepass, Bitwarden, Lastpass or any others you can find with a Google Search. Source: 7 months ago

• Your privacy is optional

  I also tried out KeePass for a little bit but prefer the BitWarden apps. The key thing here is don't store your passwords in the cloud as they are massive target for hackers. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

  There are various Keepass add-ons, but I prefer the standalone version. Source: 10 months ago

• My privacy journey -thanks to this and r/privacy sub AND how can I make it better

  If though you can't stand the idea of your password vault on a 3rd party server then you can use an offline password manager like KeePass. Of course, you have to take responsibility for making and storing backups of your vault in case something happens to your device. Fortunately, Syncthing can make this pretty trivial.

• My privacy journey -thanks to this and r/privacy sub AND how can I make it better

  If you can't stomach the thought of your password vault stored on a 3rd party server then I recommend KeePass which is a free open-source offline password manager. The key here is that you should back up the database. Perhaps putting a copy of it on your laptop/PC, your phone, and USB Key (probably 2, one you keep local and update periodically to swap with a second stored in a safety deposit box or trusted...

• Air B&B with “Motion Detector” ring camera above a full length mirror. $500 for tampering with or unplugging it… good thing I have post-it notes

  Why's that? If the issue is that you don't want to trust anyone else with your passwords, you can use an offline password manager (e.g. KeePass). Then all your passwords are only in one encrypted file, and you have full control over who has access to it. Source: 11 months ago

• Anyways to login without typing email, password everytime? - ChatGPT

  Are you on a company computer? Your admin has probably blocked the password saving feature. If that's the case, you can use KeePass and configure auto-type to save you some time, but then you either need to type out the master password, or keep the vault unlocked in your tray (which is potentially another security concern).

• FBI director Chris Wray said China has “a bigger hacking program than every other major nation combined and have stolen more of our personal and corporate data than all other nations—big or small—combined.”

  For the paranoid, there's always KeePass + cloud storage, which is also free. It's what I use. I tend to use KeePassXC, a cross-platform KeePass-compatible application that works on Linux, Mac, and Windows, and I use Dropbox free for my cloud storage, since it actually has a Linux client that works, no hassles, right out of the box. I use KeePassium on my iPhone, and there are plenty of Android KeePass-compatible... Source: almost 1 year ago

• My account has been disabled

  But if it is what I think it is, it's probably gone. My advice, use a password manager and save everything on there and upload backups to google drive or dropbox. I would recommend KeePass. Source: about 1 year ago

• What free things online should everyone take advantage of in 2023?

  If you're at all considering it, I recommend downloading the version 1.xx installer and running it. Make up some fake passwords for fake websites, test it out, kick the tires. DO make sure you download it from the official site, though. Source: about 1 year ago

• Find Same Passwords

  If nothing else already suggested works for you, then export your BW data to a csv file and then import into KeePass2. KP has a built-in find duplicate password function. It can also be used a secondary local backup in addition to the cloud. More here: https://keepass.info/. Source: about 1 year ago

  KeePass basically set the standard for offline password management (ie. Not dependent on any online service). Source: about 1 year ago

• where do i stand in regards to revenge porn in England

  To best protect yourself, it could be worth using a password manager to randomly generate and store passwords for your accounts, I use KeePass which is free and works well, there are similar apps for mobile too (Strongbox on iPhone is what I use) for if I need to access accounts while away from my PC.

• I'm gutted right now, 8yrs farewell.

  Definitely time to think about setting up a password manager & locking stuff down. KeePass is really straightforward to use & will generate secure passwords for you so you only ever need to remember one password: https://keepass.info/. Source: about 1 year ago
