Master passwords is the one thing i would find it somewhat useful. But even then, when you encrypt something with a password you would want a passphrase instead for more entropy. So even here it falls short.

one of my good friends, reuses the same simple, short, password on everything.... her facebook got compromised and she STILL wont change her password.... its maddening.

I'm thinking of trying to get her to use a password manager, or at least a card like this....

I got my mom to use Bitwarden. There was a bit of effort setting her up, but now she is really happy with it.

Where do you keep your KeepAss master password?

In my head. If you use a long passphrase, it's easy to remember, easy to type, and secure.

The pregenerated book of codes is used since ancient times and it is interesting, but I would much prefer to educate people to use passphases instead.

And everybody has a phone with them at all times, you can have Keepass on it. It doesn't use the cloud, it's local, and if you need to sync the password database file automatically with your PC it's safe to keep it in the cloud, it's encrypted and only decrypted locally. But I myself use a self-hosted instance of Nextcloud.

It's an interesting concept, but I love to carry a wallet as thin as possible.

I'm not George Costanza :)

I've never really had a use case for it myself. I'm happy using Bitwarden at present. It's certainly a fun read and a good solution for anyone in need of a completely offline solution.

I really like how easy it is to customise it so that even if someone got a copy of your square, they wouldn't necessarily be able to get your passwords. Changing your starting row or column or adding a few characters at the start of the domain will completely change the output. I'd imagine you'd need both the square and multiple passwords to even attempt to brute force a solution back out of it.

It's an interesting idea. I'm not here really to give my input either way, but I just wanted to note on my client, the animation is a static image and when tap on it I get this message:

It's not an issue, but it ends up opening the in-app browser and from there plays as a video

Also, the app has some info it includes when trying to open files, not sure if it's useful:

It's not a big deal at all and if you don't care I apologize for wasting your time. But people here seem to like puzzling out little issues on the fediverse.

Thanks again for the original post, though! It's a fun approach

Sure, you could...

Fair enough, all good points! Assuming you are using the 8 character columns as unique passwords, I guess this also promotes the use of different passwords for different accounts which is also a good practice!

It was just an elaborate rickroll, they’re getting sneakier.

Spell the words with mistakes + add numbers and symbols with a rule, capitalize with a rule too

But lyrics of a song is an really obvious target to get to a dictionary(if it's a dictionary attack)

More interesting would be encrypting name of the service, maybe with you login or something

So "gooey" + "lemmy", let's say we take three first letters and three last

"goommy"

Create a dictionary in your head only you know:

go out out mom mom yes (for an example I used short words)

Make mistakes that you would:

go oud oud mam mam yess

Add some numbers and symbols, capitalize

gO Oud Oud mAm mAm yEss (o, a, e are capitalized)

You get the point
