There is a paid version with some advanced features. Other well-known products are, for example, 1Password and Dashlane. There are a number of products available, but I use LastPass and find it to be a very good piece of software. So, if you are serious about being safer online and are looking for a week-end or rainy day project, this is it! :)įor the Password Manager, I will have you install and use LastPass. The nice thing about 2FA is that it will prevent the bad guys from logging into your account, even if somehow gain access to your password. In this case, you will need your password and also something I will have you install on your smartphone. What is 2FA you ask? It simply means that to log in, you will need two "things". Once your Password Manager is installed, I will have you enable Two-factor authentication ("2FA") for your most critical online services.Can we all agree that it is a very bad idea? Many people use "Password123" for all of their online services. The key is that it will help you have a different and complex password for each online service. A password manager is a piece of software that will help you manage the usernames & passwords for your online accounts. I will walk you through setting up a Password Manager.It's a two-fold process where you can start with the first one and then move on to the second part when you are ready, It's not all that complicated but it can save you a lot of heartaches if one or all of your accounts (e.g: Facebook, Amazon, Online Banking, etc) are compromised. So what is this all about? Since it is this "special month", now would be a great time to upgrade your personal online security. Tech nerds and fellow Cyber Security pro's, I did not write this for you! (but happy if it is useful for you) Did wrote this article mainly for the non-technical people in my network as well as for your families and friends. I figured I would take this a bit further. I have already seen some good articles and posts about this. This month is the "National Cyber Security Awareness" month.
