whenever I would flatten and reinstall windows, I’d copy the chrome folder in appdata or whatever it was so as soon as I opened chrome in my windows install, it’d be the same. everything logged in etx

(The bug was something to do with double-clicking a word that was made up of lower case hex to select it to copy. It was a problem in FF for literal years but I see that it works finally.)

i read this thread and i gotta say i agree with the op. there's barely any reason to have human-readable passwords anymore. my device should just somehow authenticate me personally and then spew 2048 bytes of RSA at whatever site requests it. public key cryptography has been a thing for decades now. get on it.

I finally got around to reading my latest Spectrum and there are some players trying to change that: https://spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/telecom/security/pioneers-web-cryptography-future-authentication Along with Hellman and Elgamal talking, there’s a thinly veiled ad for a company in that that’s trying to give you a personal CA out of your platform’s Secure Enclaves and trying to tie that to you. I wish them well. Unfortunately it will likely be tech companies trying to do this to tie you to platforms (and show you ads) and not some cool assertion of the individual identity

Bloody posted:i still have an old broke as poo poo phone on my desk for exactly this reason when i transferred to a new phone, Microsoft authenticator stuff came over fine after restoring the backup and logging in to my Microsoft account. the thing that took forever was the ios keychain which is supposed to send a notification from the new phone to the old phone for approval, but it took like 45 minutes. The apple store head genius said hes never seen it work and that i should just screenshot all my creds from the old phone, but thats absurd so i just waited and eventually it came. ios sucks rear end.

oh god I got the gently caress web passwords and now I can’t stop because my safeword is 24 random characters including upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols, with no runs of three adjacent characters of the same class, and I didn’t write it down

when i first started setting up to get a pilot's license i did the thing that everyone says you're supposed to do and made the answers to the security questions random phrases that have no connection to the question itself. then i forgot all the answers as well as my password and earlier this year had a very strange call with the FAA trying to confirm my identity

i love being forced to choose from a shallow pool of "security" questions that anyone who remotely knows me will be able to answer. what's my mother's maiden name? what elementary school did i go to? even sherlock loving holmes won't be able to crack those
