I saw this on the plugin site. I notice it generates passwords but I'm |
| 35 |
pretty good at that myself. I doubt anyone would guess my password for |
| 36 |
my bank and credit card. They are not based on anything, not birth |
| 37 |
dates, Social Security number, account number or anything like that. I |
| 38 |
used to use a password that had some of the characters above the number |
| 39 |
keys but I got tired of typing all that mess in. It may be more secure |
| 40 |
with them but the bank chose to block my password manager from filling |
| 41 |
them in automatically. I changed it to something easier to type in. |
| 42 |
Also had a few rounds with the bank too. The changes they made do not |
| 43 |
make anything more secure than it already was. Several universities did |
| 44 |
studies and some of them said it made things worse by providing a false |
| 45 |
sense of security. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I did not notice that it had a fill in feature tho. It may not work |
| 48 |
with my bank but I may try it since it appears to be a local thing and |
| 49 |
doesn't transmit anything to a third party. Lastpass seems to do this. |
