Password policies are a joke since you use 5 websites and they will have 5 policies. 1. Bank etc will not allow special characters, because that's a "hacking attempt". So Firefox's password generator, for example, won&#x

these kinds of stories are such a joke, why can i not just give someone my public key and that should be enough to communicate with him forever? how is that not user friendly? because he can lose the key? you just give it again. you just us

i didn't get why any phone number is involved when this software was released, and now it's gone. i safely avoided even bothering to learn of whatever false conundrum these San Fransisco, Twitter scene people had in mind.
