FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.
Maybe the admin got hacked?
edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

It’s buggy and missing some key checks to make sure it’s working when you set it up.
Real risk of locking yourself out of your account.
oh, really? maybe i’ll turn mine off then…Thanks for the heads up!
Mostly a risk on initial setup.
I’ve been waiting a bit for it to stabilize and just using huge random passwords
If you’re using a password manager you’d be doing this for every site and without even having to think about it. Bitwarden is a great choice.
I like KeePass. Bitwarden currently has an nginx exposure in the Dockerfile published in their git repo (may have been fixed since a couple of days ago). That said, I used Bitwarden for many years and switched out of an abundance of paranoia, and am definitively not recommending against it. Just basically use one of the following:
And stay far the fuck away from LastPass
my uni is currently still recommending lastpass as of now, tho I’ve heard they might be looking for alternatives …
LastPass has had a few security incidents lately. I do not trust them at all.
This was not the first and it won’t be the last. They’ve had issues going as far back as 2015. Don’t keep your credentials with a paid platform. Use something you can fully audit and control yourself like Bitwarden or KeePass
Let your classmates know that last pass has semi permanently damaged their trustworthiness by trying to hide a security breach, and then downplaying the severity of the breach, and that your University’s security recommendations are intrinsically suspect as a result
KeePass +1
I don’t know that 1password should be on that list. The first two are free and open source. The last one is paid and proprietary.
Don’t put your credentials in the hand of a company that requires you to trust them to not fuck up. Everyone thought LastPass was great until they weren’t
Oh I do. Used Bitwarden for many years.
I actually use keepass for totp codes too.
