• 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 / 7 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

  I Use KeePassXC[0] on the desktop and is really great. It is open-source; not an Electron app, it is written in C++[1]; there are browser plugins to auto-fill user/password/TOTP codes; it is local-first: not tied to any cloud vendors and you can easily sync the database file via any cloud system if you want; there is an Android app that can use the same database.

• I’ve decided not to get a Jagex Account.

  Ever heard of password mangers? Most password managers not only come with the simple function of saving your username and password, but often also with note/custom field sections (if you can, set the custom field to hidden in case you're in public with people snooping around). Those custom fields are neat for remembering a bunch of account specific things, such as remembering what your code is for the decoder... Source: 11 months ago

• 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: about 1 year ago

  For what it's worth, I use an always-offline password manager desktop app called KeePassXC. It requires more manual input, but it saves me from all the anxiety about getting my passwords stolen. Source: about 1 year ago
