I wonder what went wrong with Weather Underground? IIRC they moved *from* Dark Sky to WU and now they're moving back to DS.

Is there any app that either a) can convert Voice Memos to mp3 b) record voice clips directly to mp3. I have a friend who does voice work and no longer has his own PC and occasionally needs to send quick samples and they need to be mp3 for whatever reason. I've looked at the app store but holy moly the results are trash. Insanely broken UIs, or requires a $5 month subscription :bigwhat:, and usually both.

There's a free app (ad-supported; $8 to go ad free) called Voice Record Pro, which has powerful file format and recording features. This includes saving as MP3.
UI is non-standard but it seems to work quite well and was last updated very recently.

Shortcuts can do conversions.

Edit: nope, they dropped MP3 support from workflows. Piece of poo poo, it’s just m4a or aiff now.

Yeah after I posted, I wondered if that might be the case. That or inaccuracy. I also recalled the last time BeWeather came up, plenty of us (including me) commented on how it would at times randomly give us forecasts for completely different locations.

How does the ios password manager compare with 1password? They’ve been doubling up on me but I have a new email and I’m migrating logins over and having two things managing passwords is kinda bugging me. What’s the best direction to go in?

If you are 100% Apple ecosystem then just use iCloud Keychain. Otherwise 1Password is cross-platform.

I don't understand why I can't harass people online. Seriously, somebody please explain why I shouldn't be allowed to stalk others on social media!
What withak said, but if you're going to use 1Password you can disable the option to save passwords in iCloud and instead make iOS defer all password stuff to 1Password. It's pretty neat because anywhere that iOS could fill in a password, it'll now give you the option to pull passwords in from your 1Password database, and I think you can have it save logins directly to 1Password as well. This solves the issue of passwords being saved in two places.

It will even automatically copy the 2FA code to your clipboard when it fills in the password. It’s super slick.

I switched my 2fa stuff to OTP Auth because it stores in iCloud (meaning there's no big deal switching devices) and it's one less google product to use.

I use keep rear end for passwords so no 2fa poo poo there.

How's LastPass in comparison to 1Password? I recently started using LastPass because I heard some praise for it and it has a free option, and it seems to be getting the job done so far.

These 1Password features seem awesome:

1Password Pro or whatever is a one time fee. Their subscription service for their-cloud-hosted passwords is something separate.

...where is that? I just downloaded the app to see if that option was there and there's only the option to sign up for a free 30 day trial and then $3.99 monthly or $35.99 annually after the trial.

Also I went into Settings > Passwords & Accounts > AutoFill Passwords and LastPass was an option in there, so I enabled that.

If that feature is in LastPass and there's a free option, is there any real reason to switch?

While they still offer the one-time-purchase version, they do their damnedest to hide it as deep as possible so nobody knows it exists, except for the part of their user base that would scream if they killed it - they want that sweet, sweet subscription :10bux:

They don't really have this on the site because 1password is pushing the subscription over the one time purchase license.

Lastpass has had some hilarious security holes (but as far as I’ve heard, none have compromised passwords in vaults protected with MFA) and goons loving hate it. It also got bought by some company that goons hate.

I’ve been using it for years. I like it!

It's less the security holes (which were mind bogglingly bad in some cases), but more their historical lack of secure coding practices and their repeated indifference to addressing the issues when the vulnerabilities were pointed out.

I mean you do what you want and you'll probably be OK. But I have no trust in a product with its history and will never recommend it to anyone who asks.

And yes, parent company LogMeIn is terrible.

I've been using it for a couple of years now and am perfectly happy with it, so I don't see a reason to switch to another password manager if it's working for him.

I used Dashlane for a few years and it's been fine. Their security is good, they have a public whitepaper and seem to respond to security issues pretty quick.

They raised their prices to be more expensive than 1Password though so I moved on last year.

I think it was more the recommending Dashlane for everything that was the joke. I really haven't seen anything in my sec mail-lists regarding Dashlane.

What's not to get? 1Pass scans the QR code that generates the OTP, and then you enter the OTP that 1Pass generates into the site to verify it.

But yeah, 1Password OTP is super simple to set up. I use it for everything but special snowflake sites like Blizzard and Steam.

For anyone who hasn’t figured it out when editing the entry in 1pass tap the “add one time password” and then the qr icon and scan the one it shows you for a google authenticator and bingo bango it should have a six digit time limited code for you. It’s real slick.

I am moving everything over from authy and I have one OTP entry that doesn’t have what it’s for and now I’m too scared to delete the app in case I lose that one.. I think it may be ifttt.

That seems bad though. You’re just putting both factors in the multi-factor authentication in one place, right?

Like, instead of two factors (your 1pass p/w + your authentication device along with its credentials) now you just have a single factor again (your 1pass p/w) and an extra step at login. Am I missing something here?

If your OTP generator, such as Google Authenticator, is on your phone, then nothing has changed by moving it to 1Password (or other password manager with integrated OTP generator) in that respect. You've already accepted that risk by having it live on the phone in general.

1PW would require physical access to the database file (if syncing via Dropbox or iCloud) in addition to the password or would require the secret access key - a long, randomized string - in addition to the 1pass password if syncing via 1Password.com

if your 1pass password gets popped and someone gets access to your account, you're probably hosed regardless of where your OTP codes are stored. the reality is you're probably not an important enough target with valuable enough dick pics and either Authy or 1PW will be fine.
