Brilliant idea about “salting” your critical passphrases.

“When you go to log in to the website, have the password manager autofill the password it has and then add the salt before pressing the login button.

If for some reason your password manager is breached the real password is not exposed.”

“It has been over a year since I cancelled my Cloudflare account. They keep emailing me and haven’t taken me off their marketing lists despite repeated requests. Their CTO told me he would investigate, but nothing changed. Their Data Protection Office hasn’t respond to my requests. Cloudflare do not appear to respect the GDPR.”

Are there any @lineageos users trying to use the #NHS #COVID app? I keep getting this message (paraphrased):
"This app can't run on this phone. This could be because it's a company phone or a similar app is causing interference." Any ideas?
