I have used certs in the form of pre-shared auth for SSH sessions but that is a different story than logging onto websites. Maybe the underlying core encryption concepts are the same but the practicalities involved are very different in terms of user interaction and required policies.
Lastpass is better because it has a standalone desktop application, standalone Android app, and plugins for desktop and mobile versions of major web browsers. In other words it works seamlessly across all devices and apps which is an essential feature for a password manager.
I use LastPass. If any of my devices are stolen - which has happened several times - I immediately change the master password.
I know people will say this is not perfect - LastPass itself could be compromised, or someone could potentially access my system and keylog - but it seems to be by far the best practical solution and has been foolproof to date.
However I like the idea of client certificates mentioned by another commenter. Sounds like the way of the future.
I'm curious about how this would work. Would each person have one client cert that works with multiple sites? Or would each site require it's own cert? What happens if your phone or laptop with the cert(s) on it is stolen? Would use of the cert on the local device (phone, laptop) require something additional like a fingerprint swipe or iris scan?
What's bad is that many of the offending organizations doing this are banks, educational institutions, and health providers. They must think "because we're a [bank|school|health provider] we need extra security" and then proceed to FORCE all users to answer these stupid questions.
Yes, make a law prohibiting use of SSN except by the SSA.
This breach is why it ROYALLY pisses me off when some websites force me to answer "security" questions such as the name of the street I first lived on. The people responsible for such sites should be held accountable for gross negligence.
This is exactly why I now almost always answer the "security" questions with gibberish.
If my 20-length complex password of random digits, numbers, and special characters isn't enough for security then f it.
Also, it seems like it should be a basic civil right at this point to be allowed to change one's SSN. To be forced to deal for the rest of one's lifetime with the consequences of it having been stolen is outrageous.
For an "oppressive agenda" I need look no farther than the unfolding catastrophe around me in my major US city that has been brought about by decades of liberal incompetance and insanity. Seeing human beings decomposing in the streets before my eyes, smelling the feces and urine, while we are invaded by throngs of illegals all while the politicians scream "sanctuary" is evidence enough to me of an "oppressive agenda".
As for spy agencies - I expect them to spy. That's their job. They probably are way more in touch with how effed up the situation is than most people can even imagine.
This is about US government agencies with whom the CIA partners to provide tech support for biometrics. As I read it, they simply had a kind of backdoor way to collect the data that the partner agencies were supposed to be collecting anyway.
This is not about the Intel the company, foreign governments, nor about spying on US citizens.:-)
Me too. I like MediaMonkey. It also works somewhat ok under Wine if no skins are used. Sometimes I get annoyed when it takes too long to open a music file from Windows Explorer, which forces me to use it's own directory browser which however is sometimes really inconvenient.
You know what? I bet most AltRighters actually know more about the actual history of the mid-20th century, the second Great War, and the politics that surrounded it than the vast majority of people screaming the word Nazi at us.
At this point, constantly throwing out the term Nazi clearly indicates that you're capable of nothing more than ad hominem attacks since your argument is completely vacuous.
This topic came up after last year's NPI conference and Spencer did a lengthy video about it (on RedIce). The way mainstream media dealt with the very few Roman salutes which occurred was a deliberate deception (Watch Henryk's lengthy analysis of it on RedIce TV).
In the end, because it is recognized AltRight are invariably going to be called Nazis regardless of what reality is, we chose to laugh it off as a joke, as an easy way to trigger idiots who are either intent on deliberately maligning us or else are too stupid to realize the truth.
After what the media did yes people were literally referring to others as Nazi as a joke because that's how absurd the situation was.
So basically what you're saying is that because there happen to be some people - not mainstream people nor leaders - who call themselves AltRight and are neo-nazis, that irrevocably invalidates the AltRight?
In any grouping of people there will always be things like that to occur. That doesn't invalidate the group and it doesn't invalidate what prominent members/leaders of the group state.
The Wikipedia page of Richard Spencer and others is almost a complete lie, based on extensive direct statements he has made many times.
The bottom line is the AltRight is being deliberately maligned.

That' s cool. I have been hoping to find something that works with Nextcloud.

The whole point of using Lastpass is the browser integration.

Vivaldi is great and I use Duckduckgo

"Intel" is short for "intelligence" meaning "intelligence agency" i.e. the CIA or NSA.
This is about US government agencies with whom the CIA partners to provide tech support for biometrics. As I read it, they simply had a kind of backdoor way to collect the data that the partner agencies were supposed to be collecting anyway.

These leaks are really alarming. Why has this been happening? Who is accountable for it? Did this occur under Obama's watch (or failure thereof)?
Interesting, didn't know that. It's been out of Debian and derivatives for a while now unfortunately.

Found the white hater.
Loving your self and your race/people is not bigotry. It's natural.
Also, loving yourself doesn't mean hating others, unless you're a stupid anti-white, hateful Antifa retard.
Just like you're blaming whites, attacking them for collectively advocating for their self-interests, calling us Nazis and supremacists, etc.
Right.
All your convoluted rhetoric is is nothing more than anti-white hatred.
Being nationalistic and in favor of your people/culture doesn't make you a bigot.
too retarded to comprehend the argument ergo it must not be valid defense. sorry.
ethnicity != race type of food you eat or language you speak doesn't define your race
So "not being about Nazi ideology" = being a Nazi
Looks like you've got it neatly tied up. Can't argue with you on that.
Now you can freely call anyone you want a Nazi and not have to worry about it :-)
