I know we probably aren’t trying every sketchy password manager that is advertised, but the way people are gushing over them and missing the point of the post scared me. Password managers are ultra high risk programs if you aren’t careful. It’s ok if you guys don’t mind losing your identity from an account because of a password manager giving unique passwords to each, but the point of this post is to not lose accounts from letting your guard down with a sketchy app.

The password manager dudes are saying “My house insurance is the best! i can build a new house” and this poster is saying “Avoid putting flammable things in your house so it doesn’t burn down”. Also a high chance their insurance company wont pay out, if you guys mess up badly with a sketchy password manager.

Is this a password manager ad?

This includes password managers

Do another one, replace the last panels “alpha Lemmy app” to “password manager” lol

edit: for the record I’m not disagreeing with the first comment in this comment chain.

Now again, the key point of this post, but applied to random password managers lol

You two have no idea do you? lol

When you pass your password into an app, it can just copy and store it. If at any point you put a password through, even once, its compromised and no password manager will help in the slightest.

I make bobApp, you download bobApp, if you put a password into it, you are done.

edit: answering both of you.

Then i misunderstood. After i typed this I noticed others said what you meant. My bad.
