Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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: 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.

No, thank you, especially if Google is going to be the gatekeeper.

Running or developing ?
You can probably run something like Password Store [1] fairly secure, though you still have to trust the operating system not to leak your secrets, and it turns out that today, regardless of your choice, all major operating systems more or less synchronize your data to the cloud.
I know Linux doesn't do it (Ubuntu tried some Amazon partnership once), but Linux is a poor match for many workplaces where Windows or MacOS are kings. Yes, you can run VSCode (or Vim/Emacs or whatever) on Linux, but running Photoshop, Fusion365 or various other business tools is not as "easy" as on Windows/MacOS, and in the end a company only has so many IT support staffers.

I Know What Your Password Was Last Summer
> I always tell these people to just sign up for a password manager and they always resist and say no. I must be missing something obvious.
Maybe they don't want to be relying on a random third-party for all their passwords?
Rather than getting them to sign up for a password manager, what about getting them to install a password manager? I use https://www.passwordstore.org/ - it encrypts your passwords with GPG, and shares the storage via a Git repository for synchronisation between different machines.

Command Line Interface Guidelines
That way you can delegate the password handling to another program, e.g. a password manager like pass(1) (https://www.passwordstore.org/) or some interactive graphical prompt.

Passit: Open-Source Password Manager
I want to move to something compatible with https://www.passwordstore.org/ - an open standard for keeping your passwords in a folder encrypted with OpenPGP.
The problem is that I'm nervous to give an unknown Android app and browser plugin total control of my passwords and access to my github account when I don't have time to review it's code properly. I have a bit more trust ing the command line tools, but I'd like to be sure that more people are looking at the code before I trust my life to it.

Ask HN: Best Password Manager without cloud login?
> Create a system or pattern based on url or brand and mentally hash it into a password.
Doesn't sound very secure. Also when you realize that you anyway have to trust cryptography, I believe it starts making a lot of sense to have an actual cryptographic key and encrypt it with one good random password you learn by heart.
I use pass https://www.passwordstore.org/, which encrypts my passwords with my GPG key, which comes from my Yubikey, which I unlock with a password. That means that I only need to remember one password, and it feels a lot more secure than your pattern based on url or brand.

Do you trust password mangers?

Best way to store and Encrypt passwords? Need advice on my method...
If you want portability and simplicity, there's a project called simply pass that uses standard *nix utilities (and git, I believe) to manage passwords from CLI.
