Jesus Christ.

I think you made a pretty compelling case here. It's possible that there are some "false positives" in your round up, but with the amount of admitted alts this guy has, and the unknown amounts more that has been admitted to, sorry about their luck, but if you agree with a shill and constantly follow them around with the same fucking opinion, you're going to get lumped in with them even if you're not a shill. Literally no one believes the "I can't remember my passwords hur durr!". If you have that many purposely obfuscated passwords (esoteric almost fits here), you get a password manager and just remember the password to that. It's not rocket science.

The shills are endless, and it was interesting to see different groups of known shills arguing with each other.

Lasty, the "OMGZ SBBH" comments are lolcow worthy. Doesn't that seem like another group of people who go around crying all the time? Look, I could be wrong in that some of these groups of shills aren't connected, but I do believe if they're not connected, they're just playing off of the damage each of them do around here. It's the same narratives, over and over again, and sometime some dumb user gets sucked into it. Inb4 someone yet again accuses me of being @Kevdude with zero anything to back it up other than, "I just know".

I would swallow acid before I put all my passwords into one basket and let my bank account get hacked. No fucking way I would do that password manager thing.

Password managers can be kept offline on your desktop, hell, you could create a txt file and keep it on a thumb drive. There are multiple ways to do it without it going online, you retard.

Plus, every Microsoft Windows machine has a keystroke logger. Everything we say goes straight into a repository that can be easily searched. Nothing we do is secret. Privacy is an illusion in the mind.

So then what exactly is your bitch about using a password manager?

I can't write code. I am not a guru. It just seems wrong. Why would I put all my passwords into one basket and let somebody harvest it and hack all my stuff? I refuse to do that. My passwords look like this >>> X1x6f0!mYZw

From what I know if you at least use 8 characters in a password it takes about a month of brute force to hack a passowrd. You are talking to someone that did not even have cell phones when I grew up. I also do not intend to teach myself about coding and scripts and all that shit. I just think its dumb to use a password manager because if somebody get it, its game over.

Brute force is a coding and cyber security term I first heard of yesterday. I'm only 40. We had no cell phones in college. We had pagers for the RA on call team, or nada.

I have no idea what a password manager is.

A password manager is, from what I understand, basically like a file stored on a computer. It is also probably tied to some cookies maybe. It would be like having a personal file that anybody could access, and see in your windows. I would never do it.

"Woe is me! I'm so old I can't possibly be intelligent!" Puh-leeze.

If someone has access to your local machine, it's game over regardless of what you have going on. If someone can hi-jack your user session it's game over. The password manager is irrelevant.
