No offence but isn’t a very similar policy about banning end-to-end encryption also in talk in the EU

Absolutely don’t agree with it, will be the beginning of the end for privacy but this is more of a European wide (and even world wide) push for a close to e2e encryption

I use Firefox (librewolf) on desktop and Brave on mobile, its privacy respecting (with the right options) and has a quite a few things built in to block ads and trackers

Sorry misunderstood your comment, yeah Threads/Meta is god awful for collecting data wouldn’t want to touch them personally

There definitely is money in it for Meta though, just yesterday there was quite a popular post showing the types of data that is available to both users and instance owners. If one wanted to they could use things such as your upvotes and down votes to build a sort of profile about you, your political affiliations, interests etc

Meta isn’t just a problem, ad companies can easily set up an instance to start collecting data from other servers

Honestly if you’re using Lemmy all this information is already publicly accessible, any public forum isnt privacy friendly

Few critiques, not personally towards you at all but I really don’t think people should follow this approach

People can have hundreds of different passwords across various sites this really isn’t achievable

Human memory is terrible as well, it’s not a matter of if you forget it’s when

Storing in a standard notes file is absolutely terrible security, it’s also extremely unusable once you have more than a couple passwords

I really suggest to people using a password manager, most of them have apps for your phone and plugins for your web browser to allow you to autofill. They also allow you to randomly generate passphrases/codes for different sites and the autofill means you never have to remember a single one whilst having extremely strong passwords

I’d recommend looking into either Bitwarden or 1Password

You absolutely should look about moving away from LastPass and to something such as Bitwarden/1Password

LastPass has had major security breach a while back and plays very fast and loose with it’s security. It is not recommended

It absolutely shouldn’t be possible compromised or not for someone who has gained unlawful access to start pushing malicious code to production as long as proper security is in place
