Woof. This is why it’s critically important to use a password manager. We simply have too many accounts to remember unique passwords, and repeatedly we see some of those accounts will get breached and your details stolen.

This is why it’s critically important to use a password manager.

Except for people who used 1Password, DashLane, LastPass, Enpass, Keeper, and Keepass2Android.

Yep, bitwarden for the win

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Self-hosted for the double win.

When and how has keepass2aandroid been compromised?

[–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Autospill affects Android password programs including keepass2android. Not a flaw in Keepass (which I use) but in Android.
