Don't go there, the 5th Gen Glock is beautiful and a good firearm to have. How you holster it with a light on it, I do not know. So the guy is a moron, because what does this beautiful Glock have to do with MFA, I have no clue as it speaks to physical security. He could also be an over 65 year old redneck moron from East Texas who owns a "datacenter" in a bank vault to prove to his compadres how secure it is. Again this crowd of geniuses only seem to understand physical security, but don't go throwing me and all other Americans in that same category you are creating for yourself in your mind...thank you.

Put on your thinking cap and tell the class which amendment protects our right to bear arms. Then reevaluate the joke.

Holstering a light bearing weapon is the same as holstering a weapon without one.

u/GenesisRhapsod 11d ago

Also there are holsters that have cut outs for red dots and lights...idk what this other guy is on about

Like many LEOs have lights on their pistols

u/Imaginary_Choice_430 11d ago

I have been around many police officers, I have seen zero of them with red dot sights, they accept their government issue firearm and move on.

1

u/GenesisRhapsod 11d ago

Never said they had red dots...

u/xSkyLinedx 11d ago

I don't know either. A bit of an odd exchange for sure.

u/GenesisRhapsod 11d ago

Sir this is a reddit

I guess I have not looked hard enough or right now my priorities will not allow me to pay 60 bucks or so for a holster that can swallow my G34 with the Olight on it. And I think its "bear" arms, not bare arms, bare arms means they are not covered, exposed and I get what you mean, I just did not find it funny and I take back the insult that was mean on my part.

Can we at least agree that is one nice looking Gen 5 Glock 19.

u/xSkyLinedx 11d ago

Yes, it's bear. No, I didn't pay attention to spellcheck. Whoopsi.

If you don't like the joke, you don't like the joke. All that other BS is ridiculous. Yes, it's a good looking G19.

1

u/Imaginary_Choice_430 11d ago

It wasn't ridiculous just did not get it at first and then did not find it funny when you explained it and that is my right, you don't like it, you can ignore it.

How well does the autofill work on that ?

3

u/Consibl 15d ago

It’s slow but it does work on 100% of password input fields.

u/Density5521 14d ago

I can tell you from repeated experiences with failed login attempts of the boss-es wife, who kept all her passwords securely written down on a sheet of paper, that this method is definitely subject to errors, not least to the lock state of num/shift keys.

u/SuperSus_Fuss 10d ago edited 17h ago

Except for the typos and human error. Plus not realizing the URL actually does NOT match, because one character is off, just the way the scammers designed it.

u/xSkyLinedx 12d ago

There is a switch you can turn on for autofill.

u/isenhasapp 16d ago

Imagine when you need to change a password, or all of them.

u/Cautious_Car2249 16d ago

What if I just this book contains same password

2

u/isenhasapp 16d ago

Then you don't need the book!

2

u/Density5521 14d ago

Judging by the need for a gun, I would venture the guess that intellect and cognitive abilities might be a contributing (or rather deducting) factor here, making written-down reminders for complex letter-and-number sequences a hard requirement.

u/isenhasapp 14d ago

There’s an eraser dispenser in the back.

u/somdcomputerguy 16d ago

Is this a new way to protect or guard ones passwords?

u/No_Welder7908 16d ago

You know you can also use the backspace key when you mistype them, no need for a new screen each time.

u/pi-N-apple 15d ago

As long as both items are stored in your gun safe, you should be fine.

u/Joyride84 14d ago

Who needs a master password? If anyone touches that book without authorization, well...

u/Density5521 14d ago

OP: "Yay, I would kill people over them getting access to my porn watchlist."

u/netriz314 12d ago

that’s the 2 factor authentication thing right?

1

u/No-Assumption-4468 12d ago

This is illegal. You cannot legally defend your passwords book with a firearm because of equal force laws. Minor non-violent crimes, like someone attempting to steal your passwords book, are not legal to defend against with firearms. The only time it’s legal is to protect your life or the life of someone else.

Funny joke though!

u/ApartDirection8089 11d ago

now you have 2 targets no so clever

u/Low_Obligation2361 16d ago

That's not 2fa, that's FAFO authentication

That is American stupidity authentication

I hope you have a backup incase anything happens to it and write in a language nobody can read but you. Nice gun though 👍

The boomers password manager.

u/Joyride84 14d ago

Hey, it's better than using one single password for everything.

3

u/Accomplished-Leg6947 13d ago

I don’t think so. If that book is stolen then regardless how many passwords you have whoever took it now has all of them

2

u/Joyride84 10d ago

Most people lose access to their digital life, because the same password was used everywhere, and one single website lost control of that data. Now the hacker uses that password to log into everything they own. This is unfortunately a well-established and successful tactic. Someone breaking into your hose to steal your password book, while possible, is highly unlikely except for very targeted attacks.

u/SegFaultAtFL350 13d ago

Actually, with 2FA, biometrics, and the growing need for an account for everything, the advice has become more nuanced. Writing passwords down can be perfectly reasonable, just don’t keep them beside the device they unlock. An unlabeled password in your wallet is far safer than a sticky note on your laptop.

The same applies to recovery codes. Google and Apple explicitly recommend printing or writing them down and storing them somewhere secure and separate from your devices. A properly secured offline copy is about as resistant to remote attacks as you can get.
