Jake Lawrence on Nostr: Password managers make you retrieve credentials the way a filesystem stores them: ...
Password managers make you retrieve credentials the way a filesystem stores them: exact name, right folder. Your memory doesn't work like that. You remember "the login I set up for the tax stuff last spring." Keymaster searches that way. Ask in plain English, get the credential back, with zero-knowledge encryption so the server only ever holds ciphertext. The retrieval got smart without the storage getting less private.
