    Overall I don't think the total amount was excessive, or maybe just slightly. My experience has always been been technical phone screen or homework problem before onsite, but not b…

    Here's my take, there's two parts of this story: 1) Their experience trying to rent a unit. 2) Their outline of the scam. I'm going to take all of (1) as facts, albeit it's only on…

    That only works if you store your vault yourself. When I tried it out I wanted 1password family so I could share some accounts with my partner. 1password 4 doesn't support their cl…
