I think I lost my twitch account. Don't really care since it was only favorites saved.
1."Reset your password
Twitch will send reset instructions to the email address associated with your account."
2.I enter my password and email for the account.
3. Sorry, we don't have an email on file for that user account.
What, they don't even have an email for my user account? :=
i mean, you must have used a different email for that

ugh. They disallow weakish passwords now. Like 'fucktwitch555' was not accepted.
That's hilarious. Twitch is one of those websites where consumer accounts are 99,5% worthless. They leaked passwords, now they ask users for stronger passwords. What.
The only thing that will do is make the next leak spread some peoples real passwords instead of their 123654 passwords for throwaway accounts. I still have not reset my password. The twitch chat is an abomination, the last time i used my account to subscribe their service immediatly started lagging horribly. In short, i definitly don't miss my account.
Now, if only they could provide a decent share of Bandwidth for DOTA. Every Thurs-Sunday, the Dota streams lag. Even when they have similar viewer counts as the LoL streams (i tune in and follow my favourite teams in both)

May as well start now. Thats just 3 varying options, I'm sure there's a million more available. The thing I don't get about those programs is, how can I trust all my passwords to an application?
I mean, who can you really trust with anything you know? Time to buy some cargo containers to bury in the forest and get some guns and food stockpiled. Me against the world! Can't trust anyone when the Illuminati is everywhere now.
You put your trust in way shadier websites and applications multiple times a day without batting an eye. You could do research into them and make sure the lizard people aren't going to steal your passwords. You can even view the entire source code for keepass and see for yourself that it is beaming your information to the space aliens! Except its only running locally on your computer but whatever.

Lol well half this I've already addressed in the 3 whole pages of this thread.
The bottom line is there isn't a single reason to not use a program to protect your entire life online. The internet will consume more and more of our lives, it's not going anywhere. There will be more and more avenues of potential attack with all the websites and programs you use and you're adding more websites and more programs all the time.
You let phone apps literally see all your texts, pictures, contacts, and GPS location without batting an eye. But a locally stored open source program is where you throw up your hand and ask questions? Lets be real.

The one thing with Keepass etc... is that you need to be very careful with backing up your Keyfile, and remembering the PW for that. Because if you lose either of those, you are fucked. And not in the good way.
