my office is a big fan of the lastpass feature where you enter a new password and then it shows up for everyone but you for 10 minutes

I haven't been on SA for years but the person who gave me my previous av as a joke felt guilty for doing so and decided to get me a non-shitty av

Also realised that some user's names that are redacted could be recovered from the copyright strings on this page:
https://wikileaks.org/ciav7p1/cms/page_15728683.html

they redacted all person names not just the ones known to be cia: they chose false positives over false negatives. the three guys you can deanonymize from that page (they're mark adler, william lefebvre and jouni malinen btw) are only referenced there, and their user ids are sequential, suggesting they're a false positive and unrelated to cia (or at least, no relation can be proved from the leak alone)

What do people think of dashlane? Or is 100% of the game split between KeepAss, 1pass, and LastPass these days?

this was the first one i ever used and i changed to lastpass because dashlane is clumsy

my typical experience with lastpass is that i try to log in, get an error about the browser plugin being out of date, try to update the browser plugin and have the installation fail, and then i just bother a coworker to give me the password instead

the solution to that is to uninstall the plugin

of course to download secret files you'll need to use the desktop client which is a whole nother dumpster fire

experience there is usually launch app, log in, the app crashes silently, launch again, vault unlocks without prompting :stare:

at work we use bitium and it's super weird because you go to a web portal and all the sites you want to use are "apps" and you click one and it does some browser magic and logs you in and redirects automatically and this just seems hella-terrible

bit of a joke that 1p for android still doesnt support the new vault format unless you use it in conjunction with either dropbox or bonjour

is the new vault format something I have to opt into? I signed up for 1password after all these things like v6 came into existence and i haven't noticed any issues, and i dont have a dropbox account.

quote:

Password managers are EVIL. The one time I tried to use one, it got hacked. Don't like being dependent on third party service. Of course managing unique strong password for every site is beyond human capabilities. I found my own solution: writing a password manager for myself. It's less than 20 lines of code and never stores anything - it just does mathematical calculations on list of words, then generates unique 30+ chars password. Brute forcing such password is next to impossible.
Of course nobody is going to hack you personally today (unless you're some big shot). It's the servers that got hacked - even the strongest of strongest pass could not save you if some service that stores your credit card info gets compromised. Some day passwords will become obsolete.

i believe v6 uses the new format (opvault) by default

if you sync with a pc/mac using dropbox or wifi sync it's fine

the problem is if you use some other, filesystem-based syncing method (like syncthing or btsync or rsync or whatever). android 1p can't open opvault directly from disk. you need to use the old format (.agilekeychain)

Password chat: make a random alphanumeric string up, like IXfQi5. Every password you make will have this in it, and you'll remember it easily because you use it all the time. Then, to make each password unique, add a couple of english words to it that are associated with that particular use. So your SA password might be IXfQi5passwordgaysowhat, bank password IXfQi5imsopoor and so on. Easy to remember, unique for each use, strong, impossible to dictionary attack.

Meh, I don't think that's the worst tbqh, even a weird custom algorithm that produces a long password given a small input is still better then nothing. It's basically a otp at that point anyway.

Better than password reuse, worse than a password manager.

To be honest there's so much password reuse and breaches tend to be so large that people don't go through the list of plain text passwords from multiple breaches trying to work out patterns between similar but different passwords, they just throw the whole list at various websites as is and ignore anything that doesn't work first try.

Depends on what you're using the IV for.

For a lot of protocols, it doesn't matter if IVs are predictable, just that they're unique. Time-based IVs (or sequential IVs) may be suitable for these protocols. Although if an untrusted peer can initiate a conversation with an IV of their choice (even if they won't be able to understand what's in it) then they may be able to predict a "future" IV from a legitimate peer and force the subsequent legitimate future conversation to use a non-unique IV, which is generally pretty bad. In general, you want to not allow IVs to be chosen freely by clients for this reason.

Firstly you would have to find a place that stores plain text passwords which almost never happens because virtually everyone these days knows to at least store passwords as hashes. Then you'd need to human-read all the passwords in the database looking for patterns to figure out, nobody does this because lol at actually reading 100,000 passwords instead of just feeding them to a bot. Then you'd need to recompute all your rainbow tables and doing that to try and get a chance of a single user's login is an insane amount of work when you can just use automated attacks that compromise the millions of accounts with fewwordenglishpassword by the thousand.

You're so much more likely to have you password manager be compromised which is something that actually happens.

ivs don't need to be secret, and with something like aes-ctr they're trivially predictable. they do however need to be unique, and the current date/time is something that an attacker may be able to control to force duplicates

Right. Having your super secret password for a website being [non-unique salt]+websitename+[N repeating characters of padding] is still a solid password scheme for an individual. But yes, just use a password manager.
