Totally agree. Many people who keep using Chrome have a VERY outdated view of what Firefox can do. That’s a shame, but it’s unfortunately an aspect of human nature that negative impressions are SUPER hard to change.

I don’t think that’s always the case. 1Password started out as a personal password manager and only added the corporate/teams/families features later.

I blame the tinfoil hat infosec crowd for not understanding that the world they inhabit is not the same one Regular Users live in.

Is there risk in keeping all your passwords in one place, whether it’s on your hardware or someone else’s? hell yes! Is that risk stastically speaking ANYTHING LIKE the risk you take when you use ‘pencil’ for all your passwords because you can’t be arsed to memorize anything more complex? OH HELL YES.

Sure, if you’re defending against nation state level agressors, maybe using a password manager isn’ the wisest choice, but for easily 99% of computer users, we’re at the level of “keeping people from drooling on their shoes”. So password managers are probably a GREAT idea.

Friends don’t let friends run Chrome.

Just here to say thank goodness for the EFF. I support them, and if you live a cushy life like I do and have the money, you should too.

Good. The more they abuse their user base the more people will look for alternatives. Hello Lemmy! :)

Yup that’s the solution I went with in the end analysis. Just use the exported text file copies of my keys and I’m good to go :)

Interesting food for thought here, but you’re talking about making the keys more secure.

These keys are ONLY used to store E-mail credentials, so “Good enough” is plenty :) I’ll work on successfully retaining and managing my single key first, and then we can work on flying around the room :)

But thanks!

Hey I just want to thank you for this. It did indeed do exactly what I wanted! I think in the past when I’d tried to export my secret key I musn’t have used the right parameters because I could never import it, but when I follow this guide I can!

So now I can just store plaintext private and public keys on my private NAS and import them on any machine where they’re needed and I’m good to go!

Apple does not care and will never care about open source other than the bits it has to care about because they’re a part of Darwin, their core.

They’re a company offering a particular “experience” and open source products do not fit into that model well at all. I use apple phones because I’m partially blind and for a very long time the accessibility story on Android was a screaming nightmare (I’m told it’s got better) but I have no illusions that they’re anything other than a profit seeking MegaCorp with all that implies.
