EvaPour one out for all of the security practitioners who are going to have to spend the holidays patiently explaining that using a password manager is still good, actually, to people who have glanced at a headline about the latest LastPass breach.
echarlie@evacide I'm still telling people to just write down good passwords in a notebook. Not because online password managers are bad, but because they're not that usable for the tech-unsavvy, and they understand the threat model of a book.
Johan Wärlander 🦀@notecharlie @evacide I guess the only problem with that is a risk of leaning towards shorter, simpler passwords that are easier to type in every time you need them?
Other than that, passwords in a book definitely eliminates 99% of the credible threats out there. You're mostly just at risk from someone being after you, personally, who is willing to put a lot of effort and risk into accessing your accounts.
