Yes, password managers are important, and so is digital sovereignty — especially in these troubling times. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a password manager that operates outside the jurisdictions of the United States, Russia, and China

I'm tired of web sites inflicting known-bad rules on passwords. Like what characters are required, or minimum length.

https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b/passwords/
https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2024/09/nist-recommends-some-common-sense-password-rules.html
https://tuta.com/blog/minimum-password-length

TL;DR: don't require specific classes of characters, require at least 15 characters.

I'd go for a minimum length of at least 16, myself. Brute force guessing is a thing and is dealt with by using longer passwords.

Any web site that doesn't follow these is just security incompetent.

Apparently there was a security leak at Paypal, so suggestion to change your password FAST and slap MFA on it if you don't have it yet.
Do note: passwords can't be longer than 20 characters and a hyphen is not allowed.
Hello security...

Boosts appreciated.

Are you using a password manager from
@1password, @bitwarden, @dashlane, #EnPass, #iCloud Passwords, @KeeperSecurity, #LastPass, @nordpass @protonprivacy or @roboform ?

Then you better check this and make sure that your web browser extension is up to date: https://marektoth.com/blog/dom-based-extension-clickjacking/

Friends, it finally happened. On August 7th, 2025, the number of spamtraps intended to fool spammers rolled past the number of inhabitants in my home country of Norway. It's time for a retrospective.
