Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch
Ibex0@lemmy.world 5 months agoLately I try to get people to use Chrome’s built-it password manager. It’s simple and it works across platforms.
Bitwarden is simple, works across platforms, is open source, and isn’t trusting your data to a company who *checks notes entire business model is based on sucking up as much data as possible to use for ad-targeting.
I’ll trust the company whose business model isn’t built on data-harvesting, thanks.
You and I can choose our tools as the best for our use case and for the good of the internet in general, but our non-tech friends can’t.
I convinced a friend to use KeePass, but he wouldn’t spend the time to learn it. I now tell him and others like him to just use Chrome’s suggested password.

I get that people aren’t a fan of Google, and I’m not either, but this is a reasonable option that would be better than what the vast majority of people are doing now…

That’s what I’m getting at. It’s an upgrade for most users and certainly novices. I thought I was being cleaver with a password manager and they got hacked twice (you know who).
