Can confirm I use this and it's super convenient to have json payloads open right up in a useful editor


I remember reading in jshint’s docs that they purposely did not chase this kind of lint since at that point the user is clearly fighting the library.



True but any password manager in the cloud should require MFA, which means if you lose your devices you’re still stuck.


You are fundamentally correct: to make your passwords safe from hackers you are making them harder for yourself to access (in this case by requiring MFA). Accessing your passwords now requires having access to a device (your second factor).

There are recovery mechanisms that you can set up ahead of time (a series of recovery codes for example), but for the most part I would agree with your premise: you will have a very hard time accessing your accounts if you ever lose your primary devices. For me the security benefit is worth the inconvenience.

This is not yet possible in Typescript, but imagine if you could define a numerical subtype that requires your input be below some threshold eg:

`type Limit = 0..100;`
