  • That is why you use an open source manager. KeePassXC for example is not owned by a for-profit company.

    Losing the container due to corruption disk failure etc can be easily managed with backups.

    Losing the password. Yes this is a real valid scenario. I personally have no problem with that i manage fine for years without having to write it out on paper to backup it. A solution would be to actually write that password out somewhere and hide it/ put it into a safe. An attack then needs to attack both, depending if you use disk encryption it is easy to get access to the password safe or not. There are other things to consider, like you could try to hide it in a very long string of characters like 20 pages of random characters, even if you forget it you will be able to find it cause it is very likely that you remember a few characters.


  • I know a lot of services that log you out regularly. Or need a password when you change settings or whatever.

    Well yea people with the “I don’t care. I just press the button and it always works” model do exist.

    WTF no. Password managers are reasonable secure. That is no i don’t care behavior.

    And when you are worried about password managers you should not use cookies. Stealing a cookie is much more simple than stealing and encrypting your password safe.

    Your entire argument was “Ah is useless and Wh gives consumers the information to determine battery life” So go ahead, determine the battery life.

    Not quit sure where battery life is comming from, thats not my argument. To restate and also better phrase my argument: Stored energy is the better measure for consumers for the quantification of the battery size in a consumer device compared to Ah stored charge.

    Now i can cross compare devices based on that and do not have to worry about the Voltage of the battery of any other devices.

    Please state the calculation that you would use to “determine how often you have to recharge” that is valid for Wh and not for Ah.

    I never claimed that this is possible. I wrote “can recharge” not 'have to". I am referring to devices like a power bank which i can calculate with a simple:

    powerbank has 100Wh and phone has 25Wh so 100/25=4 -> i can recharge my phone 4 times using that powerbank.

    I am ONLY speaking from a consumer position and for those Wh is more useful.

    The consumer looks on device a and on device b and then determines how often he can recharge its device. With Ah you cannot do this unless you know the Voltage, with Wh you can make this decision without any further knowledge.

    Yes this does not include battery life or conversion of efficiency. But a cunsumer measures nothing he looks at the lable.

    It is fine if you don’t understand electronics, but then don’t spit out misinformation.

    Btw. no need to insult me. I have never put out misinformation, I may have not stated enough that I am viewing this as a consumer.
