Changing all my passwords
Posted on 1/23/22 at 8:24 am
Posted on 1/23/22 at 8:24 am
So it’s just gotten unwieldy. Supposedly some of mine have been found in open breaches, but so far I haven’t had anything compromised.
What are thoughts on the latest best practices? I’ve been using about 4 main passwords, but then there are about 85 knock-offs from those 4 based on policies by different end points.
Password managers? SSO options? Two factor push? Just got iPhone 13 so no more thumb print boo.
Eta: Also I don’t want to use facial recognition so I don’t get 1/6ed.
Eta2: I know they already have all my face shite databases, I just don’t want to use it.

Curious about this as well. I was in a similar boat with 2-3 personal password variations and 1-2 work variations. Had a random old account as part of a breach that had 1 of my passwords. I elected to go w LastPass and have them create passwords for me for sites I don’t visit often & use a 2 factor authentication (Authenticator or text code) when I can

Go with a password manager. I personally use 1Password.

same as "slingscode" said, use a password manager. I use 1Password as well and it's great for having wife and kids set strong passwords and not reusing shite. Plus the benefits of sharing certain passwords with family as needed within the app (streaming logins, wifi, etc)

Do y’all use the auto generated passwords?

I started using LastPass a few years ago and immediately wished I had done so years sooner. Cross browser/cross device password managers just make things so easy.
Not sure what 1/6ed is, but FaceID isn't storing your face in the cloud, it stores it on your phone. LINK /
I can't say this for sure, but I would also think it's not actually storing images of your face, but "map coordinates" of your face which it tries to match each time it scans.
Your family and friends with Facebook accounts tagging you in photos (even if you don't have Facebook) are a much bigger threat to your privacy than FaceID.
I'm not going to tell you what you should and shouldn't feel comfortable with, but when it comes to privacy I think privacy minded people often screw themselves by having a zero tolerance policy. Sometimes the actual exposure risk is so minimal it is absolutely worth the convenience that comes with it.

Been using keeper for about three years. Makes logging in a breeze and passwords can be the complicated autogenerated ones you don’t have to worry about.

Face ID on iOS doesn’t leave the device at all. It’s completely on device with zero interaction with the cloud and internet.
Use Bitwarden to manage and create all your new passwords.

Good info and I know there's no escaping the reach of big brother. I just want to resist where I can. It makes me feel better no matter how stupid or silly it is.
1/6ed = Jan 6'd - they're comnin for everyone.

Yes. They are all different. They are all random. They are all long and complex.
I'm currently using Bitwarden. It's basic and free. Some of the paid products, like LastPass, have a security audit features that you might find useful.

Use FaceID or TouchID if you have it to keep your phone locked. It doesn't leave the device, if you're worried about the government it's more concerning getting a driver's license, if you're worried about big tech then it's more concerning having friends tag you in photos on facebook.
Use a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password or KeePass. Use a very long passphrase to lock your password manager -- like a sentence you won't forget.
Change every password on every site to an autogenerated password using the longest length the site allows and with all of the special characters turned on unless the site doesn't allow.
The longer the password and the more entropy (randomness) the harder it will be for anyone to break into that account, and the more likely the cybercriminal will move on to an easier, lazier target.
Every site must have a completely different password. This is extremely important to ensure that if one account is compromised, nothing else is compromised at the same time.

Password manager.
I use LastPass.
Always use 2 Factor authentication if available.

Store them in a personally maintained vault, not online!

I use 1Password. As another poster noted, it allows for pretty seamless use with multiple people including setting up shared vaults for those passwords that may be shared by the family (streaming services for example).

Downloaded Bitwarden last night and started to roll it out.
What a pain, but gonna be a lot more comfortable once over.
Thank his for YouTubers, the settings help was good right off the bat.

Biggest problem I had with old passwords were the forces changes. So my couple of go-to passwords ended up with all kinds of hacks and then it was just reset city if I needed a login.
