#Prompt: #Whacked

From my 16 year old son, Dylan:

Walking along the
Cramped corridor, I get whacked
With a passing bag!

#Prompt: #Whacked

It's the last over
Thirty six runs left to win
All balls hit for six

(Apologies to those not understanding #cricket ! The balls are bowled in a series of six deliveries called an over. Realistically the highest score from a single delivery is six from hitting the ball over the boundary of the pitch without it touching the ground. So this would be a very dramatic win).

‘tis whispered not fact
snufflepuggles just got whacked
secret code was cracked

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me.

I only know of two customers of mine that were stupid enough not to abandon #LastPass after the last debacle. And then to add insult to injury they made everyone with multiple devices "upgrade" to their non-free tier.

What's the point (there isn't one) of having a cloud based vault if it doesn't sync between your devices? You can just back up your vault onto a 5¼" floppy and store it in a drawer or safe deposit box, right?

Well, I told everyone to switch to #kdbx or #VaultWarden a very long time ago.

But what's wrong with BitWarden?

I personally sync using my own private cloud resources and a couole of other options as well. I use kdbx - in particular, that means #KeePassXC and #KeePassDX. Only I know where those so-called "vaults" are. Even though a kdbx file is relatively secure, this keeps the attack surface as small as possible.

And that's what's wrong with #BitWarden, and a big reason why LastPass got #whacked - because the bad people already know where everyone's most sensitive shit is kept.

With VaultWarden, which is what I recommend for most folks, only you know where you keep your password stores. Even with a public provider of VaultWarden there's a bunch of them, ask over the place; so the evil-doers, even if successful, will have a much harder time for less of a reward - they gained access to EVERYONE'S LastPass #vaults!

Because they're all kept in one, single, well known place.

As Colonel Walter Kutz lay dying in the mud, his only utterance was, "Oh, the horror!"

The best part about a #KeePass (kdbx) or VaultWarden solution? They're 100% #FOSS!
