I really don’t know much about this scam thing and at the same time , no one wants to be on the losing side . But i just came across a good hacker who helped me hack my boyfriends text messages, whatsap, Facebook , Instagram messages remotely..You don’t have to touch his phone while you have access to his conversations through the software he bought and install remotely on my phone , i dont know how he did this but i…
maybe he shouldn't be your boyfriend...

That isn't how 1Password works. Passwords are encrypted clientside, in a standalone native application.
Who wrote the standalone native application? To be more direct, I'm suggesting the standalone native application may not completely correctly implement the encryption algorithms. I have no evidence of this, but the concept still concerns me.

It's often called plus addressing. Quite a common feature in mail servers and mail services. MyName+ at gmail.com ends up in MyName's mailbox.
Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Surely anyone savvy enough to be dealing in black-market e-mail address lists is savvy enough to just remove everything after the + sign?

That's a really unhelpful comment. Please specify what encryption you think Dropbox is doing on the passwords and what knowledge you have on the topic. I'm pretty sure you're going to say "they do TLS" and then the person you're talking to can go ahead and explain that the encryption LastPass/1Password does protects an entirely different threat model, but unless you have a conversation here no one is going to be able…
To be clear, I don't owe you or anyone anything with regards to this conversation. I am not obligated to conform to any particular conversational strategy, and if my intention was to simply claim something was incorrect without elaborating, I am entitled to do so. That said, I was wrong. I recalled what bcrypt does incorrectly.

The downloads are all GPG-signed, so that shouldn't be an issue. You have the issue of the initial trust, but that applies to HTTPS too to a lesser extent.
How many people do you think download the application, then check the signature? Additionally, if you can spoof the download link on this HTTP page, you can also spoof the signature link, and provide a fake signature matching your malicious package.

The trouble is that no one actually implements the email standard from the IETF RFC documents. In fact, some people[0] even actively discourage doing so, despite there being little in the way of good reason to not. The argument essentially goes "well, users aren't going to be likely to use those characters, unless they're doing something bad, and they make it difficult to insert the email into the database." I feel l…
Email RFC is weird. Did you know email addresses are supposed to be case sensitive? Like bob@ and Bob@ are two different addresses? Some services treat them this way, most don't. That intersection (oauth2 for example from Google can return Bob.Smith@domain.com if Bob has a GA4W account, which causes trouble when the oauth handler inconsistently lower-casifies input.
