Quick question friends:
If I'm already using bitwarden and decide to switch to self-hosting it; can I import my usernames and such?
I would most likely change all the passwords, but being able to migrate the websites (with corresponding username) would be kinda nice
If you don’t want to use a password manager it’s not that hard to create long passwords. Just create a nonsense sentence with a misspelling with a character between each word and add some obscure personal info that isn’t directly linked to you, like a phone number of an old childhood friend or pizza place you used to call often when you were young so it’s easy to remember but not info another person can find about you. Then add a special character.
Like:
Wideo1Pasta1Is1The1Grawy1555-22334!!!
What? No punctuation marks? Special characters like !@#$%^&*()_+?
I got a "we've had customers accounts breached, please update your password" email the other day.
They specifically called out you can't use # in your password, and it's been bugging me why that is. What part if their system let's in other special characters but # is off limits?
Now that I’m thinking about this it’s bugging me too. If they are passing it to shell scripts maybe it’s interpreted as a comment? Some databases like Oracle use # to separate schema prefix from schema user and table name in a query? But none of those would really make sense here 🤷
EDIT they are storing it in plain text, with other values using # as a delimiter? lol
And in six weeks... It's time to change your password! No repeats.
Here's what you do: Generate long random string, for example: P5edM5Ce0SGE0rOr9k&#T*wG@d$og^qyBTk2@%dmO@2akbm!b^5^p!bH8w7Ei7gPSIR^1Er&hab3ae@0odk3h76Ka48kYtXrsburM$7rf^vPRwXz1s5guO&$PZz3@w
Memorize it.
For each site just choose a number and select 16 characters starting at this number.
Remember which page uses what number. E.g. google = 32 -> &#T*wG@d$og^qyBTk2
Done. You don't have to remember any more passwords for the rest of your life.
We upped our passwords to sixteen chars last fall. Also, it’s UPPER lower digit and special-char. And we only require changing every twelve months when it used to be much more.
Just add one to the number each time.
I'm on "[passwordiveusedforyears]22!" at work.
For otherwebsites I'm on things like "[passwordIveusedforyears][websitename]!"
Proper 2FA is secure enough for most people to keep using the same password so long as it hasn't been compromised. And a few things, like work passwords, email passwords, and bank passwords should be unique to thaspecific account.
Really, the biggest security hole is requiring logins for fucking everything. That's why there's a million password leaks. Why does a news website need me to sign in? Why do I need an account and password to order a pizza that I'm gonna pay for in-person?
It's not so bad once you develop a system.
And as a bonus, when a few of them leak, hackers will have a little puzzle to solve. Hackers love puzzles.
