  • so far the worst thing that’s happened is an abortion ban

    lol. we torture minorities in our prisons for being impoverished and refuse to prioritize the value of water over the value of oil executive profits. torturing women for daring to try to be equals is single head on our hydra of exploitative torture. it was 160 years since emancipation last year. there are people alive still who had peopl in their life who were owned.

    The worst thing to happen in the last 10 years was trump trying to over throw democracy

    the worst thing about the last ten years that incetivizes people to rupture the system for profit rather than to address the potential for someone to do that because the people holding power would rather rely on precedent than lose a single iota of power















  • Sure yeah. I think corpos suck, too. That’s why I don’t prefer 1password. But Firefox puts their passwords into a file, too (two actually). Key3.db and Logins.json, both with known locations, and encrypted using AES-256-GCM which is… Decent but I prefer to go a little more hardened. The thing with keepass is the following:

    1. Its open source, no corpo
    2. The file encryption you select can be as hardened as you want
    3. No one but you need know the location of your file
    4. It offers 2fa which Firefox password manager doesn’t
    5. Firefox password manager is more susceptible to social engineering attacks is mainly what I was worried about but it seems like you’ve got a good handle on it.
    6. You don’t have to integrate keepass with the browser to use it

    But I want to make it abundantly clear. @Dyskolos@lemmy.zip has not recommended storing your passwords in a file. They have suggested storing your passwords in a mechanism that can be as secure as your hardware is capable of securing and keeping the location of that up to your own decision making.

    But also. Promise me this. If you’re going to keep using Firefox as your password manager:

    1. Don’t use sync. That’s run by Firefox’s corporate arm, Mozilla PBC
    2. Use a primary password of at least 32 characters
    3. Consider rotating your password on a regular interval, like on your birthday
