    Mostly a risk on initial setup.

    I’ve been waiting a bit for it to stabilize and just using huge random passwords

      If you’re using a password manager you’d be doing this for every site and without even having to think about it. Bitwarden is a great choice.

        I like KeePass. Bitwarden currently has an nginx exposure in the Dockerfile published in their git repo (may have been fixed since a couple of days ago). That said, I used Bitwarden for many years and switched out of an abundance of paranoia, and am definitively not recommending against it. Just basically use one of the following:

        • Bitwarden
        • KeePass
        • 1password

        And stay far the fuck away from LastPass

            LastPass has had a few security incidents lately. I do not trust them at all.

            Let your classmates know that last pass has semi permanently damaged their trustworthiness by trying to hide a security breach, and then downplaying the severity of the breach, and that your University’s security recommendations are intrinsically suspect as a result

          I don’t know that 1password should be on that list. The first two are free and open source. The last one is paid and proprietary.

          Don’t put your credentials in the hand of a company that requires you to trust them to not fuck up. Everyone thought LastPass was great until they weren’t
