I keep all my passwords in a text file on my desktop
jaredsohn•2mo ago
Tried saving on jsonformatter right now and I see this:

"We are stopping save facility to prevent NSFW content and working on to make it better.

We understand this may be inconvenient, but we're taking proactive measures to ensure our platform remains safe and appropriate for all users. "

I make up all my passwords on the spot and never write them down. Every service I use has a different password I may or may not remember. If I need to reset it, so be it. I consider changing my passwords frequently a good thing. Yes, it slows me down from time to time, but whatever.

And for something I use every day like email, I just leave myself signed in on my main devices. But eventually that even gets reset...probably a few times a year.

keepassxc is a decent option too

This is wild. I figured it was going to be something about reusing password but no it’s just a treasure trove of secrets from folks formatting JSON and saving it to a public link. I can’t for the life of me understand why anyone would do this, I haven’t used a language which doesn’t have some sort of pretty print functionality built into the common/standard JSON library.

What’s crazier is everyone’s browser can do this with like a single line of code:

> JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)

I suppose it’s technically two lines if you assign the JSON to a variable (like ‘data’ above) first.

My mind has been truly blown by this one.

one if you do `copy(JSON.stringify(data,{}, 2))`. A very useful tool when you need to get the auth token from here over to there!

Also if you are someone who needs JSON then install jq and do `pbpaste | jq . | pbcopy`.

koakuma-chan•2mo ago
Is jq not pre installed?
1-more•2mo ago
Yow you're right. I've got one at /usr/bin as well as the one I thought I had to install. What a world!!
jamesnorden•2mo ago
What's crazier is that a lot of it is not even JSON, so it's not being formatted at all.
pavel_lishin•2mo ago
JSONFormatter has disabled their "save" functionality, now, allegedly because of "NSFW" content.

I guess leaking your credentials is pretty unsafe for your work.
