    Fuck but I do have totp already enabled should I just change my password?

    Edit: my paranoia got to me I’m gonna just reset my totp seeds and change my password. Some of the info was fake so that’ll protect me a bit. Guess that’s the best you can do for now

    Edit 2: they made it a pain in the ass to change your password apparently now they favor only 20 characters max (rip my 35 character password). A nice warning on their website would’ve been really helpful

      That just screams they’re not storing passwords properly. If you’re salt+hashing your passwords, they could throw Hamlet into the password field and the only limit is how big the text entry field can be. The output is a fixed length string, so I put length should be immaterial.

    When the merger was first announced, my friend sent me a link to the Ryan Reynolds video of the announcement. I sent back, “cute vid. I sense a breach in our future lol”

    I guess that ‘lol’ wasn’t necessary…

    I thought they meant Linux Mint, the Debian derivative. Very confused until I read the comments… perhaps I should read the article 😳
