FYI!!! In case you start getting re-directed to porn sites.

Maybe the admin got hacked?

edit: lemmy.blahaj.zone has also been hacked. beehaw.org is also down, possibly intentionally by their admins until the issue is fixed.

It’s buggy and missing some key checks to make sure it’s working when you set it up.

Real risk of locking yourself out of your account.

Mostly a risk on initial setup.

I’ve been waiting a bit for it to stabilize and just using huge random passwords

If you're using a password manager you'd be doing this for every site and without even having to think about it. Bitwarden is a great choice.

Oh I do. Used Bitwarden for many years.

I actually use keepass for totp codes too.
