To put it simply: you save a domain, username and password, and then the browser extension (or other implementation) will just look at your current domain and any you have saved and then offer it to you. This all happens locally.
Password managers like Bitwarden store it entirely encrypted.
Your sensitive information is encrypted locally on your personal device before ever being sent to our cloud servers.

And using a breached passwords database is a provable-in-layman's-terms and easily programmable way to do just that.
But fair enough, I'll leave it for what it is. :) It has been a good topic.

Comment on Chromium team to make changes to Manifest V3 in response to ad-blocking extension developers’ outrage in ~tech
Bauke Link Highlight of uBlock Origin developer Gorhill's response to this post:Highlight of uBlock Origin developer Gorhill's response to this post:
Strict blocking needs to generate a page on the fly according to what happened filter-wise, this can't happen with a declarative API.
Solution is incredibly simple, just keep the blocking ability of the webRequest API. Nothing of what was said in the post still properly justify removing this ability -- it's really, really hard to not suspect the real reasons are not technical neither altruistic.

Right now is the time where more and more people are starting to become aware of password managers existing, and convincing their social groups to switch because it's more secure, takes only 1 password to remember and depending on which one you pick, works everywhere people expect. It's the same as setting up an alarm system for your house, you do it once and then learn to maintain it.
And the biggest problem in security will almost always be the human element. So when you're talking about security, you're invariably talking about humans.

And that doesn't sound like a Tildes problem, but a human problem. If more websites start requiring you to use unique passwords with a mechanism like Tildes and Firefox Monitor, more people will start to become aware to the simplicity and usability that is password managers. More people using password managers -> more unique and better passwords that will be made.
You can see this same trend happened when websites started requiring X amount of characters, and eventually lower and upper case letters... Then numbers, then symbols, etc. I believe password managers are the solution by straight up removing the human element of passwords, but until then, people need to know and adjust to the fact that some passwords are just plain bad, and sometimes people just need to be forced to use a different one.

The thing is, most people use one password everywhere and integrating HaveIBeenPwned's utilities and informing those people that their password may have been compromised could be a wake up call and alert them that they're at risk. In that case, if a glorified messaging board tells them "this password is a bad password" is a good thing. Even Firefox is gonna start doing this.

Comment on Scraping Tildes as an exercise and statistics in ~tildes
Bauke Link Parent Take another look, you'll see that malice labels is crossed out and instead he asked for "labels in general". Initially it was to ask about malice labels but then he edited it.Take another look, you'll see that malice labels is crossed out and instead he asked for "labels in general".
