Edd<p>Due to a cockup on my part (shipping a partial password in a log file to a support request) I just had to reset my password asap. As it's a <a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/password" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>password</span></a> I need to use regularly (before I unlock my password manager), I use <a href="https://mastodon.eddmil.es/tags/Diceware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Diceware</span></a> to generate it. Unfortunately I couldn't find a single d6 in my room while I was running around like a headless chicken to reset it. So I've just generated a password using my giant foam novelty die. I'm *certain* it's not a truly fair die, but its definitely close enough for these purposes ;p</p>
Steven Zekowski<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.thenewoil.org/@thenewoil" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>thenewoil</span></a></span> <br>I use <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/diceware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>diceware</span></a> random words and have never used as few as 3 so this doesn’t surprise me. The author advocates for using <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/passkeys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>passkeys</span></a> but I have so far resisted that advice from him and others. Using a <a href="https://freeradical.zone/tags/password" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>password</span></a> mgr with a browser extension, passkeys seem to be only a small increase in utility. Also don’t like the “black box” aspect of passkeys: what are they, where are they locally, how secure is this system. Happy to hear how I am wrong to be a passkey skeptic.</p>
