A password manager helps you create, store, and manage strong, unique passwords for all your accounts, so you only have to remember a single master password to access them
Here are password manager software available on Linux

Thoughts on storing TOTP/MFA codes within your password wallet? Even a cloud-based one.
My org is currently considering 1Password and we're up in arms about this feature. On their side 1Password claim it improves security: https://blog.1password.com/1password-2fa-passwords-codes-together/
I'm interested to know what other teams think

I don't use my #Apple account.. ever. I've only used it to download the odd exclusive thing from #iTunes. So I had forgot where I put my Apple ID #password and in futzing around before I remembered, I locked my account.
I don't have my #recoverykey
I just spent 45 minutes via chat for them to say "You can't recover this account without the recovery key"... which they could have answered in 45 _seconds_ if they just read my original question.
My dad told me his password is:
MickeyMinnieGoofyDonaldPlutoHueyLouiDeweyDublin.
Because he was told his password had to contain 8 characters and at least one Capital.
Meldungen über (angeblich) gehackte Passwörter lassen mich kalt. Für das gibt es Passwortmanager, wie zum Beispiel #ProtonPass und zusätzlich #TOTP
Euren Account bei #SwissSocial könnt ihr übrigens auch mittels 2-Faktor-Authentifizierung schützen.
Hey techos 
Is it worth switching to passkeys ?
Top #hashcat tip:
Want per-position duplication in your rules to leverage your GPU?
It's not available in a single op, but you can emulate it by incrementally duplicating the first N chars, and then incrementally deleting the position and frequency of the redundant characters
I'm considering using a password manager. I run a minimal archlinux-based system. I don't care about synchronizing with any other machines, just about making an encrypted backup of the password bank in a file I can put in an exterman HD and not worry about. Any suggestions?
Even more importantly, what to look for and what to avoid when evaluating alternatives? (My scepticism against software is what kept me away from this type of program for the last decade and a half...)
This dumb password rule is from Ticketmaster.de.

DOGE to Fired CISA Staff: Email Us Your Personal Data
https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/03/doge-to-fired-cisa-staff-email-us-your-personal-data/
"The message instructed recently-fired #CISA employees to get in touch so they can be rehired and then immediately placed on leave, asking employees to send their #SocialSecurity number or date of birth in a password-protected email attachment — presumably with the #password needed to view the file included in the body of the email."
Anyone else automatically choose shorter string in #password generator settings when create passwords for #banks or #government #websites in case they would have some nonsense character limit (not even mentioned in manuals)?
#Cloudflare in un post sul loro blog conferma candidamente che ha analizzato le password che le persone usano per accedere ai siti che proteggono gratis con il loro sistema di sicurezza e ha scoperto molti riutilizzi.
Adesso mi sento più sicuro !
This dumb password rule is from ME Bank.

- Cannot ...
Bitwarden or 1Password? Which one is better in your opinion?
I'm using Bitwarden for a few years now, and I can't complain, but it's an American company, and I want to ditch as many American services I'm using as possible. And now I got a free family account for 1Password, and I'm considering a switch. Would you recommend that?
People use already compromised passwords 41% of the time when logging into email, streaming services, social networks, or any other online services, Cloudflare’s analysis reveals.
