1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

… Can we not just write shit down?
I don’t understand the need for this password keeper shit outside of a work/corporate environment.
Edit: the concept of writing really pissed you nerds off…
I have more than 300 logins. My password manager handles passkeys, 2FA and has integretad alias creation.
At some point you just can’t compare.
That feels excessive and I genuinely think y’all are paranoid about how often people are trying to hack you. Been running the same few for like a decade with no issues. Now I have a relatively low online footprint but still, the tech world in general is starting to feel like a form of psychosis.
The hard password you think of are actually very low entropy and easy to crack, the only good ones are random ones, which are hard to remember (except for the random words ones). It’s impossible to remember 200+ totally random password for a regular human
That’s why you write them down.
Yes and the password managers automate it such that you don’t have to write 20+ long random characters multiple times a day
You can’t just write down a secure password. It should be long enough to not be practical to write down on paper.
I do write stuff down. In my password manager so it’s always with me all the time and is much more difficult to gain access to than if I were carrying around a notepad. Also, I ain’t got pockets for that, and I’m not buying a wardrobe of cargo pants.
Ok Grandma and her password book.
The point:
Application unique passwords and MFA in the one package. Cross platform so I can use on phone and PC. Costs like $10/year. Also locks the credential and passkey to set URLs so phishing attacks are harder.
Write down passwords? The fuck are you talking about??
A fucking notebook you keep with password info at home? Like what is confusing about that.
The object itself isn’t confusing, it’s why someone would ever choose to do it
