Unlikely, but there is still a chance. It could always call its pig cousins to brutalize or kill you on its behalf.


I have heard really good things about proton pass too, but I have never used it. I use proton mail and VPN, trying to space my security between providers.


I have only used lastpass (they have had several breeches and I do not recommend them), Bitwarden (my current daily driver and my recommendation), and I have used Apple keychain a little for passwords at work that my wife can access without having full access to my Bitwarden.


I see it on my paid account in the mail app now too.


I almost used my proton mail because I can create an alias, where equifax would not accept a plused gmail account.


I saw this on my free account today, but not my paid work account. Maybe they are only showing it to free accounts to start.




When I have to sign up for something on my phone I will use my pre Bitwarden default password. Then once I have a sec to sit down iPad or laptop I will change it to something more secure.

I am currently fighting with my wife and children to start using a password manager.


Transunion was not too bad, and they did not require my full SSN, unlike Equifax. But transunion will not easily give me my credit score unlike the two Es.



I think 12345678901234aB+ would work though. If I am able to log in (I currently have to call customer service to be able to log in) I will try both of these passwords and see if either is accepted.


You are unable to paste your password into the “confirm password” field. I thought I was going to have to type it in, but Bitwarden’s autofill worked.


I tried to log in to see if I could activate 2FA and it says I have to call customer service to log in now.


Not only does the credit bureau max out their password length, you have a small list of available non-alphanumeric characters you can use, and no spaces. Also you cannot used a plused email address, and it had an issue with my self hosted email alias, forcing me to use my gmail address. Both Experian and transunion had no password length limitations, nor did they require my username be my email address. Update: I have been unable to log into my account for the last 3 days now. Every time I try I get a page saying to call customer service. After a total of 2 hours on hold I finally found the issue, you cannot connect to Equifax using a VPN. In addition there is no option for 2FA (not even email or sms) and they will hang up on you if you push the issue of their security being lax. Their reasoning for lax security and no vpn usage is "well all of our other customers are okay with this".

I left lastpass and moved to Bitwarden. On mobile Bitwarden does not handle multiple fills (such as username, account number, and password). I have also found that if you add a login or update a login on one device it can take a while to automatically sync despite it saying it recently sync’d. I have to go in and manually sync.

but those are the only issues I have had with it and have now been using it about as long if not longer than lastpass.

I think I pay $10/year. I am trying to get my wife and kids to sign up and then I will get a family plan.

I used Bitwarden on android, windows, Linux, iOS, and macOS.



That is how it started here. Then they got loud.
