Password managers, people. Use a password manager
Not lastpass tho.
Many (if not all) of the KeePass clients are better than Lastpass, LogMeIn or any of the hosted solutions. More portable too
I'm planning to leave LastPass because of the concerns, but as long as I have my phone or an Internet connection, both of which are true almost all of the time, I have access to all of my passwords.
How does it get more portable than that?
KeePass works off of a local data store which you can sync up to the cloud, so you don't even need Internet access flto open your credentials store
LastPass does the same, afaik. I was specifically talking about the portable aspect.
Ah, that I did not know.
So it's an equivalent to lastpass for portability. My mistake.b
No problem. I was more asking because I'm trying to figure out which to use next.
I use LastPass and haven’t had any problems
I used to use them, but I jumped ship after they had repeatedly had security incidents that they downplayed the severity of.
I get that security is hard, but they just didn’t seem to prioritize it. And my trust in them was broken when they treated it as a PR issue instead of a threat to my security
Maybe it's time to bite the bullet and take the time to set one up.
Bitwarden

It's so much easier. I've got one password to remember, and I don't have to think about any others :)
I know it's hard. Which is why I went off grid for a week or two and my partner set it up for me.
My credit card refuses my stored password unless I manually type it in. I've checked it multiple times for correctness.
To try and thwart malicious scripted login attempts, some sites expect a manual keyboard action on the username and/or password fields.
You can use your password manager to populate the fields but then click each and add then remove a character. That usually handles it.
Cases like these are why this extension exists: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/don-t-fuck-with-paste/
This is where the password manager comes in. You don’t have to try to use your credit card to store passwords any more.
What’s your username and password? I’ll try it and see if it works for me.
My password is hunter2
I only see *******, are you sure you typed it in right?
Tale as old as time
True as it can be
Get a password manager ffs
Been using BitWarden for years. Still happens to me all the time. 7 times for my HSA this year alone.
So I for the first time let Googles password manager create an auto generated password for an account with my payroll company.
I tried signing into my account WITH THE AUTO GENERATED PASSWORD AND THE SITE SAID IT WAS THE WRONG PASSWORD.
Reset password. NEW PASSWORD CANNOT BE THE SAME AS OLD PASSWORD.
I'll literally never try a password manager again.
Okay, first: Don't use Google for that. What the fuck, dude.
Actually, that's it. Just get BitWarden.
This is a skill issue and has nothing to do with password managers
I would not put it past them. I'm in the same boat, I pay bills every payday. There's one account that never likes my login.
"cool, guess I don't have to pay that one"
"no wait not like that!"
You have a phone number on the back of your credit card. Call it. Speak to a human.
Does your bank not have autopay?
If I had to login to every account I wanted to pay manually I'd prob be bankrupt xD
Yeah I am way too scatterbrained to pay all my bills manually lol.
My Chase account is supposed to auto-pay my credit card every month. But some months, it just doesn’t.
This affects my credit score, and it pisses me off.
It is obvious we are being fucked with.
I auto pay all of my credit cards, been doing so for at least a decade, probably even significantly longer, and not once has it failed.
Sounds like something Chase would do.
But more likely you're typing something wrong or their login servers are malfunctioning and return "no match" by default for safety. Thats always been my theory.
They have back end bugs that cause login to fail. I didn't believe it a first and then I did some testing.
The product I'm talking was a PCI security company
No wonder, they are so outdated, we use pci express now
I know in some cases, login fail is intentional to prevent bots from randomly gaining access to accounts.
Source: some random internet person who said they did as such.
Best way to keep bots from accessing the account is to disable access to the account.
