  • Good password managers, but what if not every single person wants to use “good password managers”

    I agree it’s not perfect, but at the same time it’s better than using some third party service, or using plaintext, or using the same password everywhere

    If somebody wants to use some gocryptfs or veracrypt for storing passwords, why not, it’s not the best, but still pretty nice


  • because not all encryption is created equal.

    XChaCha20-Poly1305 is used by a lot of stuff, pretty solid thing

    Also password managers should lock after some seconds. You wouldn’t want your note taking app to lock as frequently as your password manager.

    I would love my notes to lock in some time

    The key to opsec is compartmentalizing.

    It’s more true for privacy and anonymity, but security doesn’t really care about compartmentalizing your everyday notes from your everyday passwords.

    And in general, some people might need some lighter approach for storing passwords, unless it’s some google keep, or some other plaintext, I think it should be fine
