quantum computers arent real because quantum mechanics is a fraud science
"half the key length"? theyre supposed to be able to test every key instantaneously using parallel universes. but thats obviously fake so they keep inventing copium like error correction and simulated annealing to continue the infinite money grift. just look at this thing, does this look like a working computer prototype, or a shiny toy for investors to gawk over?

what's more likely is this nig stole the computer in a targeted attack against someone he knew personally that had crypto and is just trying to crack his db

How can keepass compete with online password managers? I needed to log into something on my phone and had to wait until I came home to do it because there's no app on my phone. With nordpass it's easy.
>>
>>101429958
I don't know about iOS, but there is an app on android called Keepass2Android which works with keepassXC databases. That's what I use, along with syncthing to keep any changes and updates across my phone and PC
>>
>>101429958
Sync your database file via a cloud provider

Easy
>>
>>101429997
and all of that in conjunction with Aegis for 2FA codes

KeepassXC + Aegis encrypted backups of 2FA codes + syncthing and the occasional physical storage backup like an USB drive, and you can be your own online password manager. If one device fails or shuts down you are never at risk of losing sensible access to your accounts and data.

Password managers are superior to every other method of storing passwords and similar sensitive data but they are not fool-proof and nothing really can help you if you are braindead subhuman. This guy did not do any backups and used super autistic password that was impossible to store or memorize. The vast majority of people who cry about password manager are tech-illiterate spergs who do not do anything important on their computers.
>>
>he can't remember 250 character passwords
>>
>>101430612
I used to use Pass with my private git server too but accessing those passwords on iOS (~70% of my use case) when the passforios app broke due to some dependency that never got fixed.

So now I just use Bitwarden like a sex-haver. 2FA for important accounts reduces the risk from them getting hacked, and is a good idea anyways.
>>
>>101429421
That's my point

>>101429464
You should still memorize your key, the first anon only mentioned writing it down as a backup
>>
>>101430697
I'm using pass4ios right now and have been using it for years.
It just works.

I use 'pass-otp'. It also works on iOS.

This was like ~2020 and I haven't checked if they fixed it desu. IIRC it only affected some versions of openssh (which apparently included the one my CentOS server had). I gave up after nearly a whole year of waiting.
I know it wasn't the pass4ios dev's fault, but like a nigga needs his passwords ya know.

No NEET, your password paper is not better, or even comparable, to a decent password manager.
Your password paper can be easily lost, damaged or pickpocketed, and if this happens then you are pretty much locked out of all your accounts, since the vast majority of paper spergs do not do backups properly. Not to mention that you are storing them in plaintext.

If you cannot keep track of a piece of paper then you do not deserve computers or oxygen.

You say like this because you are a pathetic waste of oxygen yourself that doesnt do anything important in life. People that do have many accounts, cant afford loosing access to those and unlike you, they actually leave their place. Since you are unemployed subhuman, you can afford using a password paper. Simple as.

NEET opinion
>you're not important enough for thieves to come raid your shit and look for passwords
Your password paper can be pickpocketed, lost or damaged pretty easily. You also dont back those up, so you can easily lock yourself out of your account. Not to mention that you are basically storing your passwords in plain text.
>and if they were serious criminals they could just beat it out of you anyways
