TOTP tokens on my wrist with the smartest dumb watch
I use https://github.com/pcarrier/gauth
It relies on file permissions so is not exactly robustly secure (no idea about RAM vulnerabilities etc).
As per the author, I consider my laptop the fundamental point of vulnerability. If someone else gets access to it, I'll know and I'll hit the metaphorical panic button :)
- Ask HN: Does anyone else think this 2FA everywhere is getting out of hand?

Ask HN: Why is today's Internet experience so user hostile?
I was able to take a screenshot of GAuth backups on iPhone using the button hotkeys(IE: Power+Volume up). I setup a container that runs a go version of GAuth and used a python script to decrypt the (decrypted QR code) backup keys. Then I backed up the encrypted keyfile to offline disk, encrypted the container backup and deleted it from the hypervisor.

Ask HN: Best Password Manager without cloud login?
If you use KeePass, make sure you use the KeePassXC variant. KeePass is dead.

Do you trust password mangers?
That's why you use the superior one, KeePassXC, as linked in the NIST link: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/discussions/9433

Will Plasma 6 still keep X11 compatibility?
Over there, they got pissed about people constantly bugging them about it and closed the bug with the last comment reading:

Help a noob out, please.
for the internet, use a password manager like keepassxc with a strong password.

KDE Plasma 6.0 Is Enabling Wayland by Default
Another regression is that KeePassX/C AutoType doesn't work with Wayland, so now instead of a simple CTRL+V in KeePassXC, I have to separately copy and paste the user and the pass.
