100% agree. Should be opt-in per email.

I assume its more of it subscribes to your newsletter same as a user would, so when you send out the newsletter to “group 1”, the google thing is also on that mailing list.

And yes, should absolutely be opt-in, per mailing list, per email.

So this is another headline designed to get a kneejerk reaction outta people.

Basically if I’m a store that sends out a weekly email to subscribers, Google will “read” that email for SEO purposes.

Thats a nice work around lol.

I haven’t tried keepassium. My main device is an android, so the IOS search was brief and focused on ones that didn’t say “in-app purchases”.

Keepassdx is sadly not on ios.

The only good one I’ve found is called strongbox. Free version works fine, but the pro version prices are insanity for something that is free everywhere else. I could get behind a lifetime buy of $10, but for $99 hell no. (Monthly sub is $3 or $25/year).

Looking at the app store now, most of the keepass apps have some form of in app purchace.

Only truly free one is call keepass touch, but frankly when I tired it, it sucked.

The way I see it, Password managers protect best against website password leaks.

By making it very easy to have different passwords for everything, one password leak won’t compromise your entire online portfolio.

The self managed nature of keypass and vault warden makes them less susceptible to a major fup outside your control, i.e A business can’t mismanage your passwords resulting in a major leak or deletion. For better or worse, you’re in charge of your own database.

They won’t protect you from various malware, except maybe a key logger that doesnt know how to copy the file? If someone actually wanted into your database without brute force, they could figure it out. If you find malware that’s been on your system for a while (longer than you download something and AV stops it before running), change all your passwords. Luckily you’ll have a handy list of everything.

Edit; another advantage is if they take over the computer/steal files there’s not much they can do with an encrypted password file, its better than a txt doc with all your stuff.

How many set their password to your example? They just look up the password when they forget.

Its cool you got them using bitwarden, I should probably get my company to switch, I know there’s a PDF company account passwords floating around…but I’m pretty low on the totem pole.

And remember these are the same people handling all your personal info on the computer :)

At least mine knows how to password protect pdfs…and then sends me the password in a separate email. Its not a fail, but I wouldn’t call it a success either.
