Urgent warning to change all of your logins NOW as hacker leaks 10BILLION passwords from dozens of popular websites

Get rid of LastPass and use Bitwarden instead.

I had a lot of trouble with LastPass inserting garbage HTML code in edit boxes that had nothing to do with logging in. They claimed that they fixed the problem but it was still there.

It took me a while to figure out what was causing the problem, but once I did, LastPass went in the bit bucket forever.

I had an ongoing argument with DoD and NSA over passwords and password change requirements since the early '90s.

I argued, unsuccessfully, that the requirements they were levying almost guaranteed that users would do the ONE thing that they never should, WRITE DOWN A PASSWORD.

I went in to a Joint Service Command one weekend and ran into an Army general and an Air Force Colonel trying to figure out how to get into a subordinate AF Major's computer because they needed a report. I asked if I could have a try. I poked about but didn't find a written PW. So I stared at what was on his desk and the pictures. I got his PW on the first try. I suggested that they have the MAJ change his PW to something less easy to guess.

I should note that our most secure systems were never affected by this policy. They were already inside SCIFs and did not have outside access except through cryptographic gear.

You would be amazed at what I could tell you about a command with just access to the UNCLAS administrative computer systems.
