Password manager roundup - July 2023

[Jan]

Apps to avoid endless password resets

South African online users will find many apps available to help them store and retrieve large collections of passwords for their apps and website accounts.

Security researchers have long emphasised the importance of using unique, long, and complex passwords with multiple types of characters to minimise the risk of an attacker cracking them.

I don't need password managers, I have these :

NordPass was a no brainer. Got a VPN included which turned out to be like $2/month extra.

 

[Grieta Thanburg]

Just use the same password for everything. It works well for me

 

[NarrowBandFtw]

what, no Lastpass?

also that hivesystems table looks suspect ... what happened to:

EDIT: ah

One of the popular providers we have excluded from this list is LastPass.

The company suffered two data breaches in 2022, highlighting concerns over its security practices.

I know the industry standard says don't roll your own, but if you're a dev worth your salt then rolling your own password manager is a no brainer and absolutely worth it. Very little risk of being a target for a breach.

you can have the most complex password in the world, but knowing when its been leaked makes it as useful as a paper umbrella.

Buy into the Apple ecosystem - it's included.

Exactly
I always use Incorrect.
Quite often I try and log in somewhere and I use the wrong password.
The website then tells me Your password is Incorrect.
Aaaah thank you website

And now with Family Sharing coming in iOS17/iPadOS/Sonoma it hopefully means we'll see Enterprise Folder Sharing soon too with Managed Apple ID's and no longer need any third party tools.

Hopefully two leaked passwords don't reveal the algorithm.

 

[lkpat]

The number of times I've seen this and still can't remember it...

it shouldn't, worked for the past decade +, but I can never say never.
