Re:Ricky Mondello » Apple Passwords' Generated Strong Password Format
on Friday October 18, 2024 @12:20PM (#41880856)
question: would it be possible/smart to have a system where the entity that is authenticating you has a way to disclose to you the maximum password complexity that it can handle ? Something like a GeekCode string that you can feed to your password generator and come out with a the strongest password possibly handled by the system ?

or you can dual boot using to a different installation of macOS or Linux using an external hard drive. I definitely do not advocate using the same installation provided by the university since it will be monitored.

Re:Ask HN: Which Password Manager are you using?
on Wednesday November 11, 2020 @01:06AM (#25055924)
PasswordSafe (pwsafe.org) plus dropbox on Windows. pwSafe2 (app77 LLC) on Mac and iphone.
I favor a smaller program that has been audited and has less attack surface.
Re:Pressing YubiKeys
on Friday October 02, 2020 @03:43PM (#24666346)
I would place the yubikey on top of a small squared base made out of Sugru, therefore elevating it and making it easier to press.. If you are concerned about the stress on the usb port then you use one of those "right angle usb cable" short cables available on amazon.

Re:The evolution of the trackball

big fan of Logitech Trackman Marble. I own like ten of them. I use them everywhere. They are indestructible, they don't require batteries and they occupy a fixed space of my choosing. With them I can easily navigate the large real estate of my dual monitor setup. Polish the ball with a little Pledge and your cursor flies cross the screeen with a little flick of the wrist.

Re:LastPass autofill exploit
on Wednesday July 27, 2016 @11:15AM (#12173490)
I am using PasswordSafe ( pwsafe.org ) and Dropbox to sync to the cloud. I do not use autofill, nor I asked my browser to manage my passwords. There are a mix of opensource and commercial implementation covering all platforms (iOS, Android and what not). PasswordSafe has also been audited.
Why isn't PasswordSafe more popular ? What do other password managers have that Password Safe does not ?
