Wow, I wasn't aware of this. With such amount of money raised, I would expect a more polished app/frontend. Their core open-source product as a password manager is solid, but the UX/UI could definitely use some improvement.

Fido auth may be ok but please, stop the "magic link" or SMS authentication. Even with very fast delivery, having to switch email or SMS still take time and interrupt the signin process. We all know how costly it is to switch cont

Coca-Cola, Nike ... are some magnitudes different in brand recognition. They can afford to do that. I find it quite frustating when I'm on some startups' websites and after 1-3 clicks around I still don't know what their prod

Guess I'm the opposite. I hate USB-A the connector with passion. I always have to try 2-3 times to be able to plug the USB-A connector in. Now I keep only 2 USB-A chargers in my home for legacy devices and advice my wife explitcitly no

The first thing i do on a new remote box is to move SSH to another non-standard port other than 22. I use the same port for every remote boxes I have. Then add that port into `.ssh/config` on local box. Second is to disable root login.
