Sticky Password is my choice; your master PW is never transmitted, it remains local. It gives you access to all your data /PWs, but no one else can see them. It creates PWs, and those are in the "you'll-be-dead-before-you-crack-this" category.

Sticky password is cheap, especially if you find a deal on stack social. However it has an awful interface. I bought a license and tested it and immediately stopped using it.

by no means it can crack my password in minutes because it takes 3-5 strikes in most websites to activate second factor authentication.

Thanks Malcolm McMillan, for putting that into perspective for me.

Nice article, good to know that AI isn't any smarter than the conventional tools

By the way, the phrase "Increase that to 11 characters " in your article needs to be "Increase that to 12 characters " ... search it up

Thanks!

yourself the author stand in error unredeemable from start to finish; why? because generating passwords and cracking it's use in an authentication system are two very different things; capability to search a database for a character set or produce a given character through generating a match does not translate into a password specific to an authentication system, talk less of the application to such a system that is unlikely to admit unlimited attempts before consideration of time per attempt, even allowing for the unlikely automated interaction.
