alt Hacker NewsI update a spreadsheet with all my accounts and money and their values so I know my net worth and its changes, and oh boy every month getting these numbers is such a chore.
Since it's been a few days, sometimes I am logged out of either bank/traders and also the password manager.
So it's open the bank site, click on login/password, password manager browser extension asks to login. Type password manager password. It asks for 2FA. Unlock phone with face. Find app, open app, unlock app with face. Approve password manager login. Click on bank login/password again. I am in! No, bank wants to 2FA with mobile. Unlock phone with face. Open bank mobile app, unlock with face. Get code or approve login. Back to computer, type code or click approve.
Repeat that 12 times for all the accounts, and by the end of it I have neck pain with all the "pick up phone to face unlock" motions.
I am a bit paranoid so I turn on 2FA and passkeys and whatnot, but all of this makes me want to use `123password` everywhere and never change it.
For me everything goes in Keepass. And the only thing I want in life is the ability to change a password from Keepass in a standardized way.
Instead we've got Passkeys and the general promise by omission that I will be banned from using Keepass to store and backup my passwords as I see fit on my own devices.
People want me to trust the corporate overlords who at every turn have practiced lock in and rent seeking tactics.
