Ok, getting back on my security soapbox.

Feel free to mute to not hear my random (but informed) security thoughts.

I've said "use a password manager" before, but I'm not sure if I've explained why.

The reason is simple, and related to @CoSoGuard. An email/username/password combination you had once is most certainly out on the web. A criminal might try these combinations against other sites.

Keeping passwords in a manager allows you to keep long, unique pwds for every single one of your accounts.

And those "tricks" like spelling the site name backwards... criminals know about them too.

(With proper authorisation) I dumped the hashes at work, supplied a short password list from the internet, and cracked about 70% (~800) in seven seconds.

Follow this advice.

@0x56 @CoSoGuard With that said, how many folks protect their access to CoSo with 2FA? One of the first things I did after joining.
