SA has been owned. There's a username and password dump floating about from 2004/2005

to be fair. when that leak happened, radium forced everyone to change their password to a 12 (or 16+) character password with mandatory minimum symbol representation.

for a long time even in yospos, and before mainstream password vaults, SA had the most secure requirements of most social media.

if you put locks on your bag and they are not TSA the TSA will cut them off but yeah they're useless either way cause of 100 reasons. the only way to secure checked baggage is to get a hard case with a good lock and transport firearms in it along w/ everything else.

This is the correct way to transport things "securely." Another way is sometimes at large airports you can get your luggage TSA wrapped which makes it less likely to be tampered with.

Otherwise for casual security this "birthday" lock is fine.

Assuming MS is interested in hosting it they'll probably just offer them a competitive price. It doesn't sound like the most horrendous idea when compared to some monolithic bespoke project - as long as MS are confident they could handle it smoothly.

Unfortunately ability to handle a project isn't part of the rubric of enterprise project management. In fact I'd say the only metric they use is number of billable hours.

what is the sec thread approved method for crossing a border now? Make dummy social media accounts, claim not to have them, change the password before and after crossing?

All though it is now explicitly legal for customs to go through your poo poo that way, in actuality that type of "extreme" vetting will be rare enough so that it's not worth doing anything out of the ordinary. Just don't unlock your phone, problem solved. If you get hassled you are in for days of pain anyway, and cooperation won't help you so enable the secure erase feature, and tell them to brute force it or send you back.

in a better world this would lead to a purging of public/private partnerships and corruption charges. in our currently the gayest of worlds, prepare for full cavity searches being standard for "enhanced" interrogation of domestic travelers.

An authenticator token for 2fa isn't comparable to a password.

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.

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.

Sure don't use lastpass if you want. But since you should use a password manager, just don't use auto-fill, or auto-sync on any of them.

wait what's wrong with auto-sync now, that's my whole reason for wanting 1password so i can just change my passwords once and have all four or five or whatever the hell i'm up to machines go 'yup ok'

if dropbox gets owned i'm hosed anyway so hail eris or satan or whatever

Eh, that's just my opinion about limiting risk. If your password vault exists in only one place and you just c+p from it, then all the web-hook vulnerabilities don't matter. If dropbox get's owned, then yea I agree it's basically the same as a sync-service getting owned. Eitherway, I still think it's prudent not to enable web-site integration with any password manager.
