The controversy surrounds David Heinemeier Hansson, who has posted strident anti-vax and anti-immigrant views.

1Password faced immediate backlash from customers this week over a $300,000 pledge in support of a Linux distro created by David Heinemeier Hansson, who has regularly published overtly racist blog posts that include comments calling for deportation of ethnic minorities in Europe. The popular password manager is now a “distinguished corporate patron” of Omacom, the nonprofit foundation that oversees a popular Linux distribution known as Omarchy.

    … Can we not just write shit down?

    I don’t understand the need for this password keeper shit outside of a work/corporate environment.

    Edit: the concept of writing really pissed you nerds off…

      I do write stuff down. In my password manager so it’s always with me all the time and is much more difficult to gain access to than if I were carrying around a notepad. Also, I ain’t got pockets for that, and I’m not buying a wardrobe of cargo pants.

      You can’t just write down a secure password. It should be long enough to not be practical to write down on paper.

      Write that shit down.

      Ok Grandma and her password book.

      The point:

      Application unique passwords and MFA in the one package. Cross platform so I can use on phone and PC. Costs like $10/year. Also locks the credential and passkey to set URLs so phishing attacks are harder.
