Surprising how many people wonβt just go search for the answer to their question before asking it online.

Yβknow, sometimes people ask questions on public forums rather than just searching on Google because they want to start a conversation.
Yeah those arenβt the kinds of questions Iβm talking about. Iβm talking about ones with objective answers that can be easily searched.
Obviously.

To figure out if your email addresses are part of a known breach. Also, start using a password manager (https://bitwarden.com)
Similar site for figure it out youβre trained for AI model:
and if my Email is part of any kind of breach, is thier something else I should do beside changing my password ?
PS: I do have 2FA activated already
So who has the highest score? Iβve got 21 on my OG email and 13 on my primary π€£
A good alternative to keepass is a self hosted vaultwarden btw. (compiled from bitwardens opensource code iirc)
Vaultwarden is not compiled from Bitwardenβs code, itβs a separate project and codebase but designed to be compatible with Bitwardenβs API.
Bitwarden is open source and you can self-host it but IIRC itβs a bit more complex and resource-hungry than Vaultwarden.
I found keepassium for the work phone and I was in love that I could keep a separate db with my OTPs under a password and backed up.
Then I left that job and had to split my OTPs. Vanilla keepass for droid will gives me the OTP values for gitlab etc, so itβs good there, but Vanilla keepassium for Android has no camera/QR->OTP input that I have yet, one that works like keepassium does and is all compatible down the line. Iβd love to keep using it to maintain the existing separate keepass OTP db I have.
Do you (or anyone) know of a good combo for droid that gets
- keepass
- backup to box/gdoc/etc
- qr for OTP
In one final package? Does XC do it in a way we think may be compatible?
Keepass2Android does all that on android. It natively supports Dropbox, google drive, one drive, nextcloud, pcloud, and mega, plus you can use WebDAV or sftp. When editing an entry, the totp setup has the ability to scan qr codes with the camera. Plus, the whole thing is free and open source.
They even have a package on F-Droid, though that build lacks the built-in support for cloud syncing (due to F-Droid restrictions prohibiting binaries, I think).
Iβve used this app for years on android, paired with various cloud sync options as providers change their restrictions and capabilities. On desktop, I use keepassxc.
Hm i switched from KeePass to Bitwarden because the latter lets me use my passwords on multiple devices and as a Firefox extension that enters my credentials at a shortcut.
Can you elaborate why you think KeePass is better?
Is this really that useful though?
I pretty much just assume that Iβm getting pwned regularly.
Obviously the password manager advice is very useful.
Is this really that useful though?
Itβs very useful if you donβt use a password manager and/or reuse passwords.
The most useful part about it to me is the API. You can tie it in to Active Directory to blacklist all hashes that appear in any breach, plus expire/force a password change if any user on your domain uses a password that has been in a breach. It completely eliminates that vector from threat actors immediately.
So yeah, I would call this intensely useful.

This trick alone makes my Lemmy addiction pay off. Thanks for even suggesting such magic is possible. Adding that as a task after my samba-AD rebuild this very fβn week.
I use this to cut through the bullshit of Prime Day deals or Black Friday. It shows you the historical price of a product.
Crazy how I have a bunch of alerts set up on here, prime day started and I didnβt have a single item drop in price.
Also I believe there is a browser plug-in for this as well to make it even easier to use.
Same! I find the alerts come at times when there are no holidays or events. Like on a random Tuesday afternoon in the middle of June I get an alert that a game or movie is $20 when itβs been $40-60 the last 6 months. Prime Day comes around and itβs βon saleβ for $55.
Http://keepa.com is also really good
I literally just used this site last week to set up a price alert for a purchase.
Noticed via their chart that the item I wanted to buy (an air purifier) went on sale every few weeks from $340 to $199. I set the alert for $200, and the next day it emailed me saying the price had dropped. Saved me 140 bucks which was awesome.
Works for Amazon.ca links as well.
