Online Security Advice: Password Best Practices

in security •  8 years ago 

Hello Steemians, here's today's video.

Online security is going to be of increasing importance in the coming years. If cryptos are adopted in the way I think they're going to be, then we're all going to have to be particularly savvy with our online security best practices.

Here's a few pieces of advice: always use a different password for each site, make them all hard to guess, store them on a password manager, use 2 factor authentication wherever possible.

What do you think about this advice? Worth re-steeming?

Hey Rob,

Great Video🐱‍💻🐱‍💻🐱‍💻🐱‍💻 Keep up the work

I used to like lastpass but dont trust them they got hacked and also host your password database. Always be careful where your data is being stored in the cloud.

Keepass is a great open source password manager. Has a great password feature. The longer the better :P . With a password manager and a secure backup you only need to remember one password :D

A good real eye opener is

Hey, @shifty0g thank you so much for commenting. I agree that keeping your passwords on the cloud is a risk but for a lot of people, it's either that or using the same, easy to hack password everywhere.

Keepass does look good. It's recommended by Tavis Ormandy, the guy who spotted Lastpass vulnerabilities.

I love howsecureismypassword.net and haveibeenpwned.com which I knew about – both great resources. Oh, how I hate LinkedIn.

Thanks again, man, I'm following you even though you support Chelsea.
