If you've been following along with the series, you now have a solid foundation to start building up from. Stay Tuned for More Hacking with Mac Guides! While KeePassX does offer an autofill option, it is still in experimental state and beyond the scope of this article. You don't have to worry about the contents of your clipboard being read due to KeePassX auto-clearing the clipboard after 10 seconds.

So instead of rolling up all of our passwords with Diceware, we'll let our machine do the work for us-both in guarding the passwords and generating them. We're also human, so we have a hard time creating random difficult-to-brute-force passwords. Just like most other people, we hackers have a lot of credentials to manage. Now that we've learned about keeping all our data safe with encryption, it's time to continue progressing through getting your Mac set up for hacking.
