Thanks for recommending Dashlane. I've been having issues with Lastpass not loading up anymore after starting Chrome, so I switched to this and it's working pretty well so far.

1Password isn't cloud-based, Luke. It, much like KeePass, has available Dropbox integration but doesn't store the actual database on a remote server. The password database (which is strongly encrypted) is stored locally. The primary differences between 1Password and KeePass are that 1Password has a more user-friendly UI but lacks Linux support while KeePass is a bit more utilitarian in the UI field but has a wider compatibility base.

Great video.

Why is physically writing down the password a bad idea? As long as somebody doesn´t break into my house, they are safe. Family members do not even know that I have something like that and I won´t lose the sheets of paper since they are all stored in one place for years now. Written down password cannot be stolen by some fancy hacking program. Using a password manager isn´t an option for me, I do not need it anyway and it can get decrypted too. If you have all your passwords stored in a program, good luck getting to them if you PC is dead...

Why not write them down? its hard to hack paper?... and you'd have to have something somebody really wanted online for them to break in to your house / rob you to take your password book just to login to your online accounts?.... but that's just my 2 cents..

*lol* enjoyed the Dutch last names (droogkloot, eikel, etc.) in the first few minutes of the video :-) Greetings from the Netherlands

Hey, I'd use passwords like "correct horse battery staple" except that many sites require varying case and numbers and non-alphanumeric characters for their passwords. Many sites also still limit the length of passwords to 10 characters, so using those non-alphanumeric characters are as good as we can get in many situations.

hunter2

The problem with the word combination or sentences is that many sites dont allow for this. Many sites require special characters AND numbers AND lower case AND upper case. a few sites have a minimum of 8 characters and a maximum of 14. Idiotic, but I cant force it to work. And now you have to remember which sites have what weird rules. So back to a lot of hard remembering again.

This! Should really gain more views!!!

1password can also be used for local storage (and local Wi-Fi sync, which is very useful)

If the site you are creating a password for supports spaces. It is also great to make your password into a word or sentence and your normal password. Like for LinusTechTips forum it could be 'linustech ' and for Facebook it could be 'bookoffaces '. This way, you get a long password and also as password that you can remember!

I personally would say that KeePassX is a pretty good open alternative to some of the desktop solutions for password management out there. Mainly because it's available for all of the major operating systems.

leo sky First, LastPass and other cloud-based password managers use heavy encryption that can't be brute-forced before the heat death of the universe. Second, read that XKCD. It briefly explains how a random combination of 4 common words is actually more secure against both humans and computers than what people usually believe is a good password.

@uzbekistanplaystaion4BIOScrek

8 жыл бұрын

+Telogor _ a lot of brute force programs will also use a dictionary/wordlist and try combining those, so writing a long password sentence with only lower case words from a dictionary could drastically lower the time it takes to brute force a passphrase like that, probably not even a day of computing. the xkcd is correct, assuming that the brute force attack will try random symbol combinations. most, however, do not work randomly; there's a certain predictability to common password phrases/combinations. personally, I'd advise to use long and moderately complex pass phrases. you can even write them down onto some paper to keep near your PC, which should be fairly safe as long as they're not easily visible by anyone just walking in.

Also i don't really want to buy a new copy of windows lol. Thanks

The pass phrase is superior. You can even use concepts to help remember them. You can right down the concept as a reminder since someone would need to both know you very well and have the concept to crack it. An example of a concept is what I call topical favourites. So for example: Location - Car - Food, from this randomly I could have a password of dubaifordburger, sydneylancercheese or newyorknissancake. Both functional and comical making them easier to remember. 2-Factor authentication is based on a principle of both something you know coupled with something you have. So a password combined with a pin from an App, Text Message or RSA token makes this more viable. While someone could steal your phone or RSA token, chances are they won't have your password and vice versa. There is a TED talk on this exact topic if you want to know more. I need to point out this won't work everyone. Some developers for whatever reason limit password character length, eg. Password must be between 6 and 12 characters in length. While this would help prevent SQL injection attacks, it is overzealous as proper input validation would prevent this.

I already implemented the password suggestion you mentioned, wanted to find out if you were correct and have a video reference. Btw, this doesn't work 100% (password type) since some websites/games seem to get into the habit of requiring short passwords and numbers/symbols in the password. They need to take a look at this video and remove those requirements, lowers my possible security due to this.

I have a pretty airtight method I think, I have 5 different passwords that I'll alternate between for every account I own. I have all of these memorised and if I require a hint for a password, the hint will normally be something like "password 1" which acts like a trigger, immediately telling me which of the 5 to use.

You should also talk about websites that set using special characters, numbers andcapital letters as a mandatory thing. Tips for memorizing, and all that. I'd say, make the first letter capital, just like you'd do to a name, add a number to that object (the tube), and switching an "s" for "$" should pretty much do it IMO.

please make a video on negative and positive off does difrance password managers.. i would love a video like that. and bett others would to.

I have a password that has four sections that I switch around whenever I make a new password and then I also have a fifth unique section for every password. It works very well for me

Thanks for all the AWESOME videos, you guys ROCK! On the topic of security, what in your opinion (specifically asking Luke & Linus?) is THE BEST Anti-virus software, both Free & Paid? There are SO MANY different opinions on what is the best Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware software on the internet, however I can't remember ever hearing you guys suggest any of them. What do you (Luke & Linus) use on your personal rigs, if you don't mind sharing such info? Based on the research Ive done and the people Ive talked to, it seems the general consensus is that the best Free Anti-Virus is (Top 3): Avast, Avira & AVG. As for the best "Paid" Anti-Virus, I was told by someone who is a very experienced developer that Kaspersky is the best. So where do you guys stand on this?

i love the background

What I want to know is how to best go about undoing poor security and password practises in the past. Should you go through your email and try to change/delete old accounts to forums and similar and change every password or should you just settle for a new email password?

I first heard it with Linus, now I'm hearing Luke say it. Agayhnst.

1Password is not necessarily "cloud-based" like LastPass. You can happily turn off dropbox/icloud sync and sync Locally via WiFi. (Although I think at this time this is only supported with a Mac-iPhone combo) What I mean is that (although tedious) 1Password does not _require_ you to sync.

wow that just fished me into liking ;)

3:34 Wait, is that a... Doctor Who reference??? On LinusTechTips??? Well, the old kitchen did have a TARDIS in the background... Still, I am now both surprised and full of admiration...

Another good way Ive found is to use a passage from a book you like. Easy way to remind yourself of what the password is.

I made my own HARDWARE password manager 😊 It fits well on my keychain and can either show the password right on a small LCD display after decryption - or be plugged into USB and launch a webbrowser directly on its own storage (runs separately from the PC's browser) with the password automatically filled in/already logged in to the account due to cookies! Everything is backed up in 2 different ways as well, so I don't have to worry about loosing the keychain 😊 ...And nothing is stored on potentially untrustworthy third part cloud-servers! 😉👍

It's backed up to a micro-SD card on the device and I have also written a script on my computer that checks if the first/middle/-and last character, as well as the total lenght of the encrypted data on the password manager matches with a partial cache from the last time I had it plugged into my computer. If it does NOT match with the cache then it means something has changed, so then it automatically replaces the old backupfile on an external harddrive with the new and updated data 😉👍

Yes it might be bad to use the same password for multiple things but with the amount of forums/sites/services/shops ect you are required to log into online it a very hard to have a very different one for each unless you whould write them down offc wich whould be bad also.

I use KeePass for personal and work. Don't need to remember passwords or even see them. Auto generated based on several options, or manual entry. Auto paste and clipboard timeout.
