The controversy surrounds David Heinemeier Hansson, who has posted strident anti-vax and anti-immigrant views.

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

      The hard password you think of are actually very low entropy and easy to crack, the only good ones are random ones, which are hard to remember (except for the random words ones). It’s impossible to remember 200+ totally random password for a regular human

      You can’t just write down a secure password. It should be long enough to not be practical to write down on paper.

      I have more than 300 logins. My password manager handles passkeys, 2FA and has integretad alias creation.

      At some point you just can’t compare.

      I do write stuff down. In my password manager so it’s always with me all the time and is much more difficult to gain access to than if I were carrying around a notepad. Also, I ain’t got pockets for that, and I’m not buying a wardrobe of cargo pants.
