What Is Password Spraying and How Can It Be Used Against You? - 1 views

  •  
    Always a good time to change passwords. And in this case, motivation to not use a common password!

The plot to kill the password | The Verge - 0 views

  •  
    @GoogleForWork tweeted this article about using fingerprint readers and phones to eliminate passwords on the web. This seems very plausible that we could see this become mainstream quickly, if Google were to acknowledge it by adoption. Especially would gain traction if Apple were to also return to the consortium mentioned.

Potent LastPass exploit underscores the dark side of password managers | Ars Technica - 2 views

  •  
    LastPass has 90 days to fix the potential exploit before ProjectZero releases the exploit to the public. The Mac Geek Gab Podcast recommends switching password managers if LastPass has not "patched the hole" in half the time (May 1). I personally have LP on all my devices, having paid money for the mobile version. 1Password seems to have a stronger reputation from the podcasts and bloggers I follow, but the desktop app was much more expensive than LastPass. Perhaps I'm getting what I've paid for. :(

    Thanks for this article Emile. It looks like LastPass has implemented a fix, announced last Friday. https://blog.lastpass.com/2017/03/security-update-for-the-lastpass-extension.html/

LastPass - Automatic Log Off Preferences - 2 views

  •  
    Wondered how to have my LastPass extension log off automatically after a certain duration of time, etc. Otherwise, if someone stole my laptop, I'd still be logged in to LP and they'd have access to all my passwords. Good, simple options in LP Preferences...

KeePass Password Safe - 0 views

  •  
    Keepass2 with the KeeFox Firefox Add-on and Dropbox to make it available to all my computers and devices is wonderful. On my iOS devices I use MiniKeePass to have my passwords with me everywhere. It is all free too.

    Shared by Pastor Dan Witte - You've given this kind of password advice before, but this article may still be worthwhile to pass along to your readers/listeners.

DROPitTOme - Securely receive files from anyone to your Dropbox - 1 views

  •  
    Use Dropbox? This tool is AWESOME! Drop files into your dropbox from any user with an Internet connection. Password protection means that only files you want people to upload make it into your box. Super cool! (can you tell I'm excited?)
