Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    If you're still trying to use "complicated" passwords...

    You're doing it wrong.

    The person responsible for those weak-password rules has already admitted that he was a bureaucrat, with absolutely no computer knowledge whatsoever.

    The NIST has officially reversed course and strongly recommends that we no longer use password weakening rules.
    They also say that we should not be forcing password resets unless the user wants it reset or there is evidence of the account being breached.

    The updates are broken down into 3 sections, with section “b” being the most relevant to this e-mail.

    As a follow up, I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal regarding this topic.

    That may be pay-walled, so another variant from Gizmodo.

    This is all accurate... but unrelated to the product here.

    In fact, most recommendations are now that you use a password manager to handle your pws since the biggest threat is password reuse.

    Password manager

    Or better, use bitwarden.com. Also supports Linux and can be used free for up to 2 users. Or, as it's open source, host your own password server if you wish.
    Best password manager I've come across so far.
