Can anyone explain to me why the #1Password Safari extension is so insanely slow? It takes 30+ seconds for Safari to stop beachballing after unlocking (if I’m lucky and Safari doesn’t crash). Can we go back to everything we had with V7 please? No electron, and extensions that worked? So frustrating.

#1Password continues to degrade. No longer do I hope for it to get back to its v7 usability. Now I just hope it doesn’t get worse. I’m regularly reminded that hope is also in vain.

Today, *for the fifth time since 1P8 showed up *, I’ve turned this option off. I know it’s only a matter of time before I get another notification about how this super helpful feature has been enabled for me. 😩

@peterjfullagar Semi-tech person here. Yes, a dedicated password manager is pretty much a necessity. Nearly every website needs a login and reusing passwords is a *bad* idea these days.
I use #1Password. It works well on Win11, Android, and iOS. Lots of features and they're constantly updating it (no manual downloading on my part, it updates in the background). It's not free but it's not expensive either.
Other options to look into:
Proton Pass (from the people that made Proton Mail).
NordPass (from the people that make NordVPN).
BitWarden is generally considered the best free password manager but I haven't used it myself.
There are many others but these are usually top rated.

I don’t know what’s up with #1Password lately, but it keeps opening a new Safari browser tab saying I need to restart it, and I think it’s the cause of the spinning beachball I see often when browsing web pages with Safari. I uninstalled and re-installed it last week, and that seemed to fix the issue, but now, it's happening again.

Can't say I am surprised, but seems #Bitwarden is moving away from #OpenSource as per github.com/bitwarden/clients/issues/11611

Glad I never jumped that train and went with
@keepassxc instead, when leaving the #1Password enshittification train. Still happy with that descision.

Any project with
#VentureCapital involved is a warning flag. I have seen so many nice software projects go down the #enshittification path, it's not even funny.

Happy #WorldPasswordDay!

I've cracked billions of #passwords from tens of thousands of #data #breaches in the past 12+ years, and because of this, I likely know at least one #password for 90% of people on the Internet. And I'm not alone! While I primarily crack breached passwords for research purposes and the thrill of the sport, others are selling your breached passwords to criminals who leverage them in #AccountTakeover and #CredentialStuffing attacks.

How can you keep your accounts safe?

- Use a #PasswordManager! I recommend @bitwarden and @1password

- Use a #Diceware style #passphrase - four or more words selected at random - for passwords you have to commit to memory, like your master password!

- Enable MFA for important online accounts, including cloud-based password managers!

- Harden your master password by tweaking your password manager's KDF settings! For #Bitwarden, use Argon2id with 64MB memory, 3 iterations, 4 parallelism. For #1Password and other PBKDF2 based password managers, set the iteration count to at least 600,000.

- Use unique, randomly generated passwords for all your accounts! Use your password manager to generate random 14-16 character passwords for everything. Modern password cracking is heavily optimized for human-generated passwords, because humans are highly predictable. Randomness defeats this and forces attackers to resort to incremental brute force! There's no trick you can do to make a secure, uncrackable password on your own - your meat glob will only betray you.

- Use an ad blocker like #uBlock Origin to keep you safe from password-stealing #malware and other browser based threats!

- Don't fall for #phishing attacks and other social engineering attacks! Browser-based password managers help defend against phishing attacks because they'll never autofill your passwords on fake login pages. Think before you click, and never give your passwords to anyone, not even if they offer you chocolate or weed.

- #Enterprises: require ad blockers, invest in an enterprise password management solution, audit password manager logs to ensure employes aren't sharing passwords outside the org, implement a Fine Grained Password Policy that requires a minimum of 20 characters to encourage the use of long passphrases, implement a password filter to block commonly used password patterns and compromised passwords, disable #NTLM authentication and disable RC4 for #Kerberos, disable legacy broadcast protocols like LLMNR and NBT-NS, require mandatory #SMB signing, use Group Managed Service Accounts instead of shared passwords, monitor public data breaches for employee credentials, and crack your own passwords to audit the effectiveness of your password policy and user training!
