Password at registration may contain username
When registering for an account here, the restrictions on passwords are 15 to 25 characters No part of the username however pasting nothing but the username, Ｂｏｂ, gets a check ✔️. I suspect that the validation code fails to understand character encoding. It's a tricky subject.
Game Over Scenarios - What To Do in Breach
Hi, Going through some paranoia I’ve been running through some “what if” scenarios about 1Password and figuring out: How stressed I should be in each case What to actually do if it happens Here’s my current thinking — would love feedback: Category 1 – Vault Not Compromised Examples: Someone steals 1Password’s servers but not my Secret Key or master password My phone/laptop is stolen but locked with a strong passcode and biometrics Stress: Low Actions: Unlink stolen devices (only helpful if they are online) Remote wipe if possible No urgent password changes — maybe rotate some over time for peace of mind Category 2 – Vault Potentially Compromised Examples: Malware on my device (could capture my master password next time I unlock vault) Device stolen and unlocked. I thinking something like a phone snatch. Weak device password that could be guessed Stress: Medium–High Actions: Stop using compromised device Change vault master password + Secret Key Immediately change Tier 1 account passwords (email, bank, primary cloud logins) Rotate other accounts over time Category 3 – Vault Definitely Compromised Examples: Attacker knows both master password + Secret Key They have an export or backup of my vault data Stress: High Actions: Immediately change Tier 1 account passwords first Then Tier 2 (social media, messaging, secondary financial) Then the rest Closing thoughts: Avoid malware — it’s one of the few scenarios no password manager can save you from Device theft is more common, but if the vault is locked and your passcode is strong, you’re probably fine. Would you remote wipe straight away or wait to see ifs handed in? The “$5 wrench” attack… well, not much to do there Keep a list of Tier 1 accounts handy for emergencies so you know what to change first Offline-only vault on a USB stick could be more secure, but a lot more inconvenient — I only access password in a secure location. If I'm on the road and no one at home to give me a password, then what. Would appreciate some input to get over the paranoia hahaRBM 15.2: How AI is supercharging social engineering attacks with Rachel Tobac
