vergess:hater-of-terfs: officialkrubs:mapsontheweb: The most popular passwords in Europe. imagine checking in on how your password manager/vpn is doing and its just publicly broadcasting your password A password manager shouldn’t even HAVE data like this, let alone share it, holy shitWhen properly encrypted, there should be literally no way for anyone but you to extract your password. Keeping millions of users’ passwords in plain text in a central database that’s this easy to analyze is obviously a big fucking vulnerability, and they’re just publicly advertising it??? Please say sike Per their website:Methodology: The list of passwords was compiled in partnership with a third-party company specializing in data breach research.They evaluated a database that contained 275,699,516 passwords in total.Top 200 Most Common Password List 2021No one else — not even the friendly folks at NordPass — can see your passwords, credit card details, or notes. We also don’t have your Master Password, so your encrypted data will be secure even if someone breaches our servers.Zero-Knowledge Encryption: Extra Password SafetyI’m a little weirded out that people are just assuming these passwords came from Nord’s customers and not, like.The literally millions of password breach databases used by every security company ever to develop password standards and safety techniques? The ones used when you get those emails from google/firefox/whatever like “hey, we saw your email address on a data breachlist, you should change the password on XYZ.com”Fucks sakes, if you have a password manager your passwords don’t even look like this because they all come with random string generators now.Anyway use a fucking password manager you weirdos. Alternatively, if you are enraged that your password has been outed by a breach and the said password was 54321 then the problem isn’t the person who stole your login, the problem is you. -- source link
