What are you talking about? Even before this new “invisible cryptography” you set it up once per device and never have to think about it again.

Would you build a house out of a metaphorical term? It’s not literal. If a phone doesn’t boot it’s as useful as a brick until you fix it.

Dashlane’s app experience across platforms was hit and miss for me. 1Password has been much better.

Disabling then reenabling the extension fixed the issue for me

Waze has no ads for me when using CarPlay
