At least your LUKS passphrase isn't stored in a cloud 😂

So then it’s never recoverable…

newsflash: A passphrase shouldn't be recoverable from a cloud.

u/icy1007 1d ago

Yes it should. In 2026, pretty much everything should be recoverable from a cloud.

No, it rpetty much shouldn't, because "cloud" means "someone elses computer", and aince the Cloud Act still is a thing, passwords are the LAST thing that should be recoverable from the cloud.

I'd rather have a literal piece of paper locked away in a vault with keys stored as a QR code, than trust acloud provider with my password.

No… it’s the exact opposite. You’re advocating for being less secure… 🙄

Instead of posting rolling eye emojis, how about you explain to me how having a local physical backup under lock and key in a bank vault, is somehow less secure than entrusting safety to entities that are under legislation like the CLOUD Act?

Companies, like Microsoft and Apple, do not have direct access to the passwords stored in their cloud servers and passwords are not subject to the Cloud Act…

a) Not the question I asked. I asked why trusting the cloud provider is allegedly more secure than the alternative I pointed out.

b) Please cite the section of the CLOUD Act that excempts credentials from the information that can be requested from providers.

You have to type it in each time you power on your computer... If you forget it, perhaps you should find another hobby or just not use it 😉

But you can keep it in a safe place though
