For free you're pretty much stuck with keepass. You'll need some kind of cloud storage too, dropbox, onedrive, icloud, whatever. KeePassium is a decent iOS option, for Windows I use straight keepass. If you're willing to pay at all there are much easier options like dashlane, 1password or lastpass. I'm not sure what the current hotness is though.

I'm ok on keepass, but if I had to start from scratch I'd probably give Bitwarden a whirl, which I believe is also free, but with modern conveniences.

I’m a keepass supporter through and through, but the client I use (MiniKeePass) is popping up a notification that it’s going away. I’ve been using it for years and it works well for me, but now I have to find an alternative. I don’t mind paying for an app, but screw subscriptions. Anybody have any suggestions? IOS if it wasn’t clear

The two big ones are keepassium and strongbox, keepassium has a better feature set for free. The paid versions are feature equal.

BitWarden is also a nice, open source, alternative that has a hosting option. I don't know the quality of the iOS app though.

If I'm paying, I'd go 1Password over all others. Their white paper is more detailed, plus a better security model than the rest.

, then it doesn't matter that much. They're still good for that type of thing and they're cheap (because they need to get customers back lol).

I've been using BitWarden for a few months and really like it. I ended up springing for Premium so I could use it for authenticator tokens. I use the Android app and the Firefox plugin and it's pretty smooth once you teach it some URLs.

What is a good email client for Windows 10? I was using the default built-in one, but it's getting worse and worse. I have 3 gmail accounts and will be adding an academic account soon; I'm ideally looking for something that's free or a one-time purchase and doesn't suck?

It is an electron based application, which is less than ideal, but it looks fine so far, not too bad. The panels are not optimally placed (top emails list, bottom email preview I consider ideal) with no way to change that as far as i can tell. As I said, an adjustment.

Just add all the additional mail accounts to your main gmail account and use that. Or if you want a paid one use The Bat!

Yeah, wow. Can you imagine getting your email blocked for using the "wrong" client? Like your email account stops working because you connected it to something that admins didn't like... and you miss an important email lmao

Is there a goon favourite software for file recovery? My music HDD died a ways back and I thought I had it all backed up but I'm noticing some bands weren't fully backed up. I could re-rip my CD's of course but don't have a CD drive at the moment. I've tried photorec and it could recover the files but not the metadata or file names. I know of recuva and active file recovery but don't currently have a license to either one (used to have an active bootdisk license, was good software but lost the license due to some fuckery I won't go in to)

1password definitely has the better windows and Android app I'd say. LastPass free doesn't sync to phones. You need to pay for that

Ok quick question. I've recently changed my ssd to a .m2 drive and thought it would be a good time to start from scratch with a new build. The windows license on my old ssd is a Pro license. However, the license attached to my Hotmail account is a Home license. Which is what it picked up on the new install. Is there any way of me retrieving the license key from the old ssd. It hasn't been wiped yet and is still caddied up so I can boot to it

organburner posted:Is there a goon favourite software for file recovery? Recuva is free though? The last time I needed a data recovery program the trial version of EaseUS Data Recovery was what worked well. The trial is limited to 500MB recovered, but if your albums are mp3s or whatever that'll be enough. (Also rather than buy software, a usb external DVD drive is like $25.) CyberPingu posted:Ok quick question. If your old windows install was using a real Win10 key (ie you bought Win10), yes. If you got Win10 via upgrading an existing install, or by punching in a 7 or 8 key at install time, no. In those cases you only get a digital license that has no key. What you can do about that: 1. Punch in a Pro key for 7, 8, or 10 into your current install in Settings -> Update -> Activation 2. Image your old drive to the new drive, use Reset this PC to get what is pretty much as good as a fresh install.

Raldikuk posted:Does your university not use google as the mail provider? No, we use Office 365. And when you go to your webmail you are redirected to our internal single-signon server before jumping back to O365, so your password never touches MS servers. I believe something similar happens when you use Outlook as client. We have decided to turn a blind eye in the case of Thunderbird, since I don't think there is a similar mechanism for IMAP. But we would have riots from all the TB users. But that doesn't mean we like it. Lot of people in IT staff and people from other departments too were not at all happy about switching from inhouse email service to an outsourced. It was a fun day after switching, when one of our IT guys was checking through the headers on a mail he had received and then asked in our chat channel why does our email travel through servers of UK Ministry of Defence. Thankfully it was just some IP Microsoft had bought from MoD and it hadn't been reregistered yet, nothing to do with Five Eyes. Saukkis fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Jun 21, 2020 |

Cardiovorax posted:I think it is. I had to recover a file six months ago and I'm fairly sure Recuva wouldn't let me restore more than 500MB of it or something like that. Did that change? Looks like recuva can't deal with the damage on the disk, so I might have to try active file recovery at some point.

I have a drive that was bitlocker protected, Windows recognizes when I plug it in but when I type the password it spins and eventually disconnects. Can any of these file recovery programs get past Bitlocker?

From what I know, Bitlocker is hardware-bound encryption, so even if you paid someone to mirror the data on the broken disk to a different one bit-by-bit, you still couldn't decrypt it anymore. It's one of many reasons why it's really not worth it to ever use Bitlocker or other full-disk encryption methods like it unless you actually have a pressing need for that kind of security.

It's a very liberating experience. I now have an order of magnitude more music than I used to.

I think the recovery key is enough to decrypt any bitlocker drive, whether or not drive hardware or a TPM is involved that might make the password insufficient. Google says this "UFS Explorer" file recovery program can handle bitlocker, so that's at least one program. But if the drive is just disappearing that's not a good sign. Also this program warns that if the bitlocker metadata area is damaged then it can't read anything even with the recovery key.

It's one of many reasons why it's really not worth it to ever use Bitlocker or other full-disk encryption methods like it unless you actually have a pressing need for that kind of security. The bitlocker "recovery key" is just the actual key, same as what's stored in the TPM. If you move a bitlocker-ed drive to another system, and punch in the recovery key, it'll work fine. Full-disk encryption is a good thing, especially on portable devices. If you're worried about failure, make a backup.
