My understanding is that Bitwarden and KeePassXC, the two open source password managers, are *both* using random code generators at this point, which is terrifying as those are the exact tools where a small error could have the largest negative impact, and also tools that once you've committed to using it you can't quickly back out if they enter a code quality decline
@mcc I've pinned my KeePassXC version to the last one without AI-generated code.

@redfire Which version is that, by the way?

@mcc Not at my computer currently but I believe its 2.7.9.

I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don't think I'm asking for much here. I am just asking for the "open source community" to be to the left of Goldman Sachs
@mcc I am honestly a bit scared to find out which projects use gen AI. I do not want any of such code running on any of my devices.

@nina_kali_nina @luana @mcc Great. Password manager migration was really not what I needed on my to do list right now
-
One thing for sure, I’ve got a fire under my butt to get out of 1password pretty quick.
@johnlehet @mcc I knew 1password was getting worse, my renewal is soon and that's not happening now. Someone in thread said keepass 2.x isn't infected with AI. There's passwordstore.org and passky.org which I just learned about. Honestly I'm not sure what to try, this is a big PITA.

@mcc So uh I have bad news about this Linux thing...

@nina_kali_nina I was tempted to do Vaultwarden, but the Bitwarden clients are affected so I don't think that'd help much. Might be an okay stop-gap until I have the time to invest in it properly.

@mcc Which reminds me, how is the reimplementation of Bitwarden, Vaultwarden, doing in that regard? I'm using the latter precisely because I'm wary of depending on a commercial product that happens to be open-source, but can yank the open licensing at any point in time. -
@itamarst Well, there is no universe where I would consider using 1password, but I guess that's still good to know
@mcc @itamarst I thought KeePassXC required human reviews / unit tests in order to mitigate any llm harms. Did that change?
More broadly, I don't really see how you can prove no LLMs were involved in code contributions if they are actually contributed by a human. Prove you used emacs or vi and didn't compile it ever on a cloud service? (I'm not happy about that state of affairs, mind you)
I suppose we can start adding some sort of watermark on code?

@WideEyedCurious @Lingmops @mcc Wondering if there's a way to save OTP derivation keys in an encrypted file, then use the CLI to decrypt and then derive the current six-digit code.

@mcc Aw man that sucks. Why would they... Ugh.

@luana@wetdry.world @mcc@mastodon.social @ariadne@social.treehouse.systems wouldn't you have to have a database of packages that don't contain LLM-written code? i don't think it's readily available
-
@mcc KeePass 2 is clean.
If you're looking for an alternative to KeePassXC, GNOME Secrets is pretty much a drop-in replacement.
-
@mcc Excuse an undereducated question from a long term 1password user who is going to move from it now: is the issue with “random code generators” that random passwords generated by these apps are easy to crack?
I’m looking at moving to Keepassium and as I understand it each of these apps in this family have different code to do password generating and are thus all different.
@johnlehet @mcc My educated guess is the problems are more likely to be things like
- sync protocol has a security flaw that makes it possible for malware in coffee shop wifi router to learn all your passwords
- sync protocol just plain stops working
- restoration of offline backups stops working, nobody notices for months

@argv_minus_one @elfin that's great, but can it interop with a phone?

"I thought KeePassXC required human reviews / unit tests in order to mitigate any llm harms. Did that change?"
I literally don't give a shit. If you think it's OK to generate computer source code from a neural network, I don't trust yr judgement enough to trust your code reviews.
"More broadly, I don't really see how you can prove no LLMs were involved in code contributions if they are actually contributed by a human."
Same way you enforce any policy against stolen code

@csolisr i'm told elsewhere in thread that vaultwarden has not accepted AI code, but vaultwarden replaces the *server*, not the client, right?
