r/Passwords

Hi there, I'm finally getting around to getting a password manager. Is there a way to do a mass password change short of going through my saved ones one by one?

In my previous organisation, my manager wanted me to generate some passwords with a certain pattern like Was@18765 (three chars, a special char and 5 numerals in fixed positions). Out of all password generators, I found KeePass password generator to do this job best. (https://keepass.info/help/base/pwgenerator.html)

But that is only available for Windows. So, now I made a simple JavaScript using GenAI for the same.

Let me know your thoughts

Sarò breve: come gestite i vostri pin e le vostre password? Avete un password manager per gestirli oppure andate a memoria? Password unica per tutto? La domanda è rivolta sia alla gestione dei dispositivi mobile che desktop.

Hi. I've got this email:

Some of your saved passwords were found on the internet.

I went to my Google Account (via browser not the link from the email) and it said that Facebook password was compromised, and this password was found on Microsoft Authenticator. Microsoft Authenticator doesn't support passwords for some time now. I've deleted all passwords from Microsoft Authenticator few years ago. I did the same with Password Manager that is provided by Google (also few years ago). Only place where my passwords are currently saved are Apple Passwords. I've created unique password for my Facebook account via Apple Passwords in 2024, never used this password on any other sites and never logged onto Facebook from any other devices than any phone I'm using currently or I was using in the past. I did get the same exact mail in the past too. When I try to check what password was leaked it only shows me those "passwords dots" when I click on "eye icon" to see the password. Basically nothing changes if I click to see or unsee the password, it's only dots like those -> ••••••••. In the past it was the same. Got an email that my FB account password was found leaked, when I clicked the "eye icon" to see the passwords it was only dots. What is this email?
