![]() ![]() Once you choose a master password and DB password that give you security for centuries using a massive offline cracking scenario as illustrated by Steve Gibson’s Haystacks page…the fact that you could do something to increase the time from 10,000 centuries to a million of them is completely irrelevant. Using DB means that 2 services have to be compromised instead of 1 which is more secure to me…and in any event better security is the enemy of good enough security. That sounds like BS to force you to sub…the algorithm that uses both could easily run locally…it’s just computer code. They claim that their master password and Secret Key combo is more secure than DropBox and master password…and that’s why they can’t support non sub accounts. Alternatively…my DropBox folder gets backed up in several places so as long as one of those is available I can use my new iPhone to recover.Įven with the sub…you still need to get something to your survivors…in my case it’s a hard copy of the recovery key and a hard copy of password manager, device, and computer passwords that he has in his safe. At that point…I would have to pullout my own piece of paper. You still have a chicken and egg issue though…you need both your master password and the long and non-rememberable secret key to get in. The chances of losing all devices, all my wife’s devices, and the paper copy our son has of the 5 of 6 passwords that get to the rest is pretty low. I have a sub as well…but my main vault is on DropBox and their copy is a backup. I just don’t think that a large number of users even need a PW manager beyond what Safari provides (present company excluded, of course), and overall security that Apple continues to improve. etc.īest of luck to whoever owns 1Password now. Continues through schemes involving recovery with BackBlaze backups, etc. Starts with shared files in iCloud, encrypted and password protected of course. I’m also happy for local storage and an outright purchase.įor my real bucket list (“Here’s what to do if I die”) I’m working, while consulting Kissell’s book, of course, on a variety of methods to maintain a chain for recovery in the event of various disasters. ![]()
