Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL: Besides offering a free compromised email check, haveibeenpwned.com also offers a free password compromise checking service (It's also fun to see what weird passwords have been used/leaked.)English
3·7 days agoI’d argue it’s generally a very sane reaction to instinctively say no when some service you don’t know about wants your password.
The commentor you replied to obviously didn’t know about the pedigree of haveibeenpwned beforehand

5·7 days agoI’d argue though, if you use a single password for everything, its probably more secure to add it here to at least get an indication when it’s breached. Your surface in that case is already so large that the difference is negligible compared to the gained warning.
That said, don’t reuse passwords!

261·7 days agovery sane reaction.
I have to say though, haveibeenpwned is very well regarded in the industry, and is run by a well known security expert. A leak from there would be quite the blow to his reputation.

That said, while I happily give them my email-addresses, I have never given them my password.

3·13 days agoKagi has AI features, but I’ve only ever seen them in the settings. They have never once pushed me to use them. Which is good, as that would be pretty much a dealbreaker.

2·19 days agoHah, I didn’t know it wasn’t. (not english native speaker)
Using that word misses out on the much more fun original name: Acetylsalicylic acid.
yeah, I get why “Aspirin” stuck
