Based only on how often I get dipshit prompts like this one, I must be one of the only people to keep hitting "No", "Never Remember Password", unchecking "Stay Signed in", disabling "Password Manager"
I have a fucking login. I remember my password. It would take 4 quadrillion years to bruteforce due to number of characters and character diversity. I don't need automated help.
Wait until you find out about password managers.
Its literally mentioned in the comment. If a browser has it then I turn it off. I do not need automated help.
Don't use a browser. Use a dedicated password manager. It is far more secure than trying to memorize what is likely a predicable password. Humans are terrible at password. That is why you create a random password and then memorize it. You do that once and you are all set.
I don't use the browser, dumbass. Welcome to the conversation.
I'm not poking fun. I'm giving good security advise.
Your security advice is shit because you're shit at security, please take the hint and converse with somebody who wasn't already explicitly opposed to every single word you type to them.
Literally everyone in the security industry recommends a good password manager. That's standard practice.
Anyone relying on a program to serve and remember your passwords is an idiot, and if the majority of tech bros with Cisco certifications fit that category it doesn't mean jack shit to me, pal.
Yeah but that won't help you if your password gets stolen somehow and someone is trying to log in from India or something
Yes it would be exactly the same actually, how would any of the things I described help in that scenario?
My bad I thought you were talking about 2 factor
Yeah 2FA is cool.
If anything, remembering your password or persistent sessions are worse for security. You’re better off with mfa, passwordless authentication and using a password manager
