16 billion passwords leaked in massive data breach | Toronto Escorts Review Board Forum | Terb

has got me concerned.

Thread suggests using passkey or password manager and data removal service and keeping software updated.

Whch is best a passkey or password manager?

1password and bitwarden are both pretty good.

Will give this a try, I am a bit worried to keep all my passwords in one place though

in this day and age minimum multilevel authentication. Just password is asking for trouble. Especially to email as that is one of the authentication methods.

I have a generic password for all my stupid shit like gaming etc. Long and involved but I remember it. I never post about things like street names, pet names etc. Or even list my high school etc.

I think a big thing is NFC entrapment and other things like this. Same as I never use my Debit card but always use CC as you have to recourse then. All these Apple Pay systems etc make theft easy imo.

There isn't much you can do about things if a third party gets hacked. I just don't give out banking I fo if possible, use CC, delete old links to financial info, password changes etc, and hope for the best.
