Comment on God ****** dammit, here we go again

I’ve only really been in one breach. This one is actually a breach of a “security firm” (incompetent idiots) who aggregated login data from the dark web themselves, essentially doing the blackhats’ work for them.
This is also EXACTLY why requiring online interactions to be verified with government ID is a terrible idea. Hackers will similarly be able to gain all possible wanted data in a single location. It’s simply too tempting of a target not to shoot for.

You’ve only been in one breach that you know about so far!

I currently have 110 unique user+password combos. I wouldn’t want to change all those even once, if I were breached and had used similar credentials everywhere.
Bitwarden keeps them well managed, synced between devices, and allows me to check the whole database for matches/breaches via haveibeenpwned integration. Plus because I prefer to keep things in-house as much as possible, I even self-host the server with vaultwarden walled off behind my own vpn, instead of using the public servers. (this also means it’s free, instead of a paid service)

Lucky you, I’ve been in at least 21 confirmed breaches so far.
Which I don’t really care about, as I’ve been using unique passwords and managers for well over two decades now.

One of my breaches was just Google Chrome (back when I used it) logging me entering my password in a self-hosted local web app via https but with no cert… Google. My breach was Google.
