RE: Securing your LastPass account with 2FA

in GEMS4 years ago

A Password Manager is a minimum basic level of security for online activities that most people don't bother with.

I've never used one, but maybe I should start. I keep them backed up offline, and have a system that works well enough for password security, but it could probably be simplified and improved.

I know some people that use the same password for everything, and it's something like their name combined with date of birth. Despite telling them so many times, some people just don't see how risky that is and don't even want to acknowledge it.

This is a very informative article you've published, thank you for sharing.

My pleasure... a password manager isn't foolproof, and it means that there are different attack vectors and vulnerabilities, but it is more secure against clipboard attacks and attacks on unencrypted storage....

The problem is that is risky, but the risk might not be borne by the person who takes security less seriously. Just like most societal things (like corona and the environment) the costs are borne by someone else!
