In this case "mind-bending" means the 'science communicator's' mind was bent, a pitifully low bar. This is Vice after all, their headlines are even more embarrassing than their content.

Just a phase itself is a really good password

Fine but the matrix is still there.

To use a recent example, it is interesting that a large language model is "just" lots of matrix multiplication, but at a certain scale theory of mind seems to emerge from that. It was impossible to predict from understanding matrix multiplication, transformers, self-attention, and relus that at a certain scale that capability would emerge.

have you ever signed into an app on your phone? other password managers have shortcuts to make this faster. even FaceID to auto-input your password on sites/apps that don’t have FaceID

I'm sorry, isn't this just how ML models are implemented?
I'm sure there's real work being done here, but this article reads like the researcher started giving the reporter a high level overview of how their model works and the reporter immediately yelled "That's an amazing discovery!" and ran out of the room before they even started describing their research

From what I understand this isn’t an issue. LastPass stores a copy on each computer/phone

Because the story keeps changing. First it was September. Then right before Christmas they dropped news about how bad it was. Now it was apparently earlier. A company who's job is based entirely on being trustworthy has been anything but open and transparent.

... was this not already common knowledge? Complex things are always just simpler things nested within one another. An exponent is just multiplication is just addition.

And last pass could have an outage or go bankrupt. Lots of arguments on your side, but you picked two bad ones.

I use a simple phrase and convert it using base64encode.org
So say I type "I love pizza!"
It returns "SSBsb3ZlIHBpenphIQ=="
Best way I've found to make passwords

I used Thunderbird back them but went to Mailbird years ago and haven’t look back since.

Local is the big part here. Password manager sites just are too big a target.

It does if a site did something stupid and included something useful in the url that lp has stored.
Edit: it also makes phishing much easier. That Metadata can be used like this:
You have an ms account and an Adobe account. I know because I have your Metadata. I send you a sophisticated phish saying that Adobe is no offering to link to your ms account for single sign in. Just enter your Adobe and ms ids on this form...
It might not hit you but it would get a lot of users.

UI redesigns never, ever go well. You just know they're going to "simplify" and "streamline" it into the same shitty mobile experience for everyone, even when you're on a computer.

Nah. They'll probably do a Firefox and remove and reduce functionality to the point where it's just like any other client and there's no longer any point to people using it.

You didn't read the requirements very well. You only have a partial solution. They specified the impossible.

Can't use it without a URL, so I can't use it to remember SSH key phrases, generator doesn't do passphrases, locked into the google ecosystem, and no app separate from chrome.
JDGumby t1_j85ro4m wrote
Yay for change for the sake of change. :/ And, despite what they claim, functionality is certain to be reduced in the redesign, same as it has been with Firefox.

To waste 2/3 of your screen and to give everyone the same shitty mobile experience even when they're on a full computer, obviously!

Remember science believes there is a 50/50 chance what we think of reality is a simulation.

I've been very happy with bitwarden across multiple devices.
