Compromised Account Passwords

[Lex]

How about something that a non-Holden person would never guess ...... 1 5 3 6 2 4.

But, seriously ...... how do you change your password on JC ?

Click on your user name. Then click on passwords.
Then you will be asked for existing p/w, then a new p/w.
Then probably save.

Password managers can and often are compromised. Norton and LastPass were both "hacked" last year, with in excess of 30 million users affected globally. The ruse is often simply getting users to click on a link for a fake product update. Lazy fools get shafted easier. These recent ones might be from some of those farmings.

I think using password managers is a good way of setting yourself up for a big fall. If huge companies can't keep secure, how is the little person gonna.

I have a little book thats kept in a secure spot. It has all my passwords for sites l use. I don't use my pc or phone. Thats like using the manager, asking for trouble.
If l use it enough, usually memory is good enough.
When l can't, the book comes out.

Was it hooked up to the internet?

They were but very limited access and in the end they removed our online access. There was one PC with good internet access, they occasionally changed the password on that. When I left I believe it was Password12



I use a random password generator for most websites stored on a password manager (local PC only), some websites I use 2FA. There are a couple of websites that I use passwords not written or recorded anywhere.

On some websites that I might only use once I use what I call one time passwords, random generated but not recorded. If I ever need to go back onto that site I'll have to reset and re-authenticate the password/account.

I also have multiple email addresses, some that are disposable only used for non critical websites and if one is compromised and starts getting lots of spam etc it can easily be deleted without major consequences.

Good ol fashioned safe and a note book. In reality the only way to keep your passwords/data truly safe is to be off the internet...
