Dumb Password Rules

This dumb password rule is from Microsoft (work accounts).

What doesn't seem to be a problem for personal accounts, is for work
accounts from Microsoft (e.g. Office 365 etc.).

Maximum 16 characters. So forget about using your new fancy diceware
password here - or really any secure passwords in general.

Oh - and besides that, please don't use any "exoti...

Maximum 16 characters. So forget about using your new fancy diceware password here - or really any secure passwords in general.

This dumb password rule is from Telekom/T-Systems MyWorkplace.

New Linux Vulnerabilities

They’re interesting:
Tracked as CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598</a... schneier.com/blog/archives/202

Schneier on Security · New Linux Vulnerabilities - Schneier on SecurityThey’re interesting: Tracked as CVE-2025-5054 and CVE-2025-4598, both vulnerabilities are race condition bugs that could enable a local attacker to obtain access to access sensitive information. Tools like Apport and systemd-coredump are designed to handle crash reporting and core dumps in Linux systems. […] “This means that if a local attacker manages to induce a crash in a privileged process and quickly replaces it with another one with the same process ID that resides inside a mount and pid namespace, apport will attempt to forward the core dump (which might contain sensitive information belonging to the original, privileged process) into the namespace.”...

I think LDAP hates me and loves my password manager.

I'll authenticate with my password, typed out correctly, only for LDAP to deny my access.

I'll copy/paste the *exact* *same* *passwodr* from my password manager, only for LDAP to allow access.

I've verified it. Character-for-character. I'm typing it correctly. Even when typing painstakingly slowly.

What else am I to conclude, other than LDAP hates me?

Step 2: change default browser to Brave and install the Chrome extension, so I can (for now) access all my passwords and verification codes from iCloud. Just used that to authorise Mastodon macOS/iPadOS app to run on my refurbished Mac Mini M2, and write this post!
