If webpages are storing plain password and not the hash, we should be worried

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 8 points 6 months ago

Don't worry. I make sure to Sha1 encrypt them first.

We contract for a regional bank and we use a Vigenère cipher to store passwords

Ave Caesar! We attack at midnight.

I wrote my own password manager about a year ago, in java. It uses Vigenère encryption using a key the computer doesn't remember (that you have to write down somewhere). I still don't actually use it in my daily life, firefoxes password manager is pretty convenient and I'm pretty lazy...

By the way (you're quicker than duckduckgoing) Are you able to view and export password in plain text if you want to discontinue using the firefox password manager?

I've resisted using password managers up to this point, but it's getting to be a pain

[-] VOwOxel@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago

Yes, I think so. You can definitely view them in plaintext, And you can export them, too.

[-] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

Sha1 hash do you mean? Sha1 is just a hash algorithm.

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

No, no. It's perfectly safe I assure you.
