schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>The conclusion of my blog posts on the LastPass breach and on Bitwarden’s design flaws is invariably: a strong master password is important. This is especially the case if you are a target somebody would throw considerable resources at. But everyone else might still get targeted due to flaws like password managers failing to keep everyone on current security settings.</p>Feb 01 14:10
schestowitz[TR]                                        <p>There is lots of confusion about what constitutes a strong password however. How strong is my current password? Also, how strong is strong enough? These questions don’t have easy answers. I’ll try my best to explain however.</p>Feb 01 14:10

Indeed, years of debates on Canadian copyright policy have taught that if tFeb 01 14:53
