A Plea For Websites To Stop Blocking Password Managers
An anonymous reader writes: Password managers aren't a security panacea, but experts widely agree that it's better to use one than to have weak (but easy-to-remember) passwords. Just this week, they were listed as a tool non-experts don't use as much as experts do. I use one, and a pet peeve of mine is when a website specifically (or through bad design) interferes with the copying and pasting of a password. Thus, I appreciated this rant about it in Wired: "It's unacceptable that in an age where our lives are increasingly being played out online, and are sometimes only protected by a password, some sites deliberately stop their users from being as secure as possible, for no really justifiable reason."
Well some sites don't want scripts interacting with the password fields. This could be a way to stop some malware from scraping user passwords from input fields.
Which badly designed and administered sites are those? Name and Shame, or just, put your money where your mouth is instead of posting multiple arseclown comments all over /. like your rectum is a source of software security wisdom.
