  • And how often. have you said stuff that you have not received advertising for? You will notice it when you get a positive match but not on a negative.

    Data collecting companies can predict/rate your behavior for more then 20 years based. Since then. it has been perfected. They know that you are interested in those topics without having the need to waste resources on recording and analyzing every single audio stream.








  • That is why you use an open source manager. KeePassXC for example is not owned by a for-profit company.

    Losing the container due to corruption disk failure etc can be easily managed with backups.

    Losing the password. Yes this is a real valid scenario. I personally have no problem with that i manage fine for years without having to write it out on paper to backup it. A solution would be to actually write that password out somewhere and hide it/ put it into a safe. An attack then needs to attack both, depending if you use disk encryption it is easy to get access to the password safe or not. There are other things to consider, like you could try to hide it in a very long string of characters like 20 pages of random characters, even if you forget it you will be able to find it cause it is very likely that you remember a few characters.


  • I know a lot of services that log you out regularly. Or need a password when you change settings or whatever.

    Well yea people with the “I don’t care. I just press the button and it always works” model do exist.

    WTF no. Password managers are reasonable secure. That is no i don’t care behavior.

    And when you are worried about password managers you should not use cookies. Stealing a cookie is much more simple than stealing and encrypting your password safe.
