Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
7. No duplicate posts.
If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners.
The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Never re-use a password between services; every password for every system should be unique. Use a “password manager” to help.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) / multi-factor authentication (MFA) on any platform/service you can. It makes logging in a little longer but it makes these kinds of attacks much harder to pull off.
Suggested password manager:![Bitwarden](https://bitwarden.com/)
Whatever password manager you choose don't choose last pass lasspass breach
They'll all get hacked sooner or later. Ironically, a physical paper notebook might be the safest option right now.
if by all you mean the closed source ones where they probably don't even encrypt your passwords, sure
but open source ones (bitwarden) are really good and have a clear track record, you can even verify they encrypt everything by checking the source code.
If you wanna go ultra paranoid, however, you can also use something like keepassxc, where not only it gets encrypted, but it stays on your device.
Or an encrypted db like KeePass or KeePass XC and your own storage sync arrangement. It has the advantage of not storing your passwords alongside everyone else's.
But a decent password manager will be better protected than LastPass was, even if hackers steal the database. If you use a good one and a strong master password which you keep secret, the risk from that kind of attack is not great. They'll get useless encrypted data.
Of course there are still other attacks like your master password being stolen through a keylogger, so two-factor authentication is important too.
Evening has an upside and a downside.
If it is data someone can get it.
I do not know the solution. In a few years password managers will be seen as bad things, it's a collection of all your passwords ffs how is that really any safer?
If it's stored locally, has a strong password (it should be a very strong passphrase. I don't know how long mine is, but more than 40 characters), and is encrypted (which any good password manager should be), then it should be fine. I don't see any issue, at least not a reasonable alternative. Now using a password manager service that you're trusting with your data probably isn't a great idea.
I use KeepassXC. It's free and open source. The android app I use is KeepassDX, though there are others, and I use Synchthing to synchronize changes between devices.
Not if it's encrypted ;-)
