So, if I create a passkey in 1Password, then isn’t my passkey behind the same master password/2FA as the rest of my passwords?

What is 2FA ??

It shows how the programmers who made Authenticator are stupid enough to think users don't want to own their own keys.

I totally agree I don’t trust the password app all the same I will put my password in my password word book

Huge waste of time. Commercial

I found instead of chasing complete anonymity I’ll just be as secure as I possibly can be instead of private.

Liked the first analogy wirh the book, super interesting. Thanks! 😃👍

I am currently locked out of my Amazon account because when i try to log in it asks me for a Passkey instead of allowing me to simply enter my password. If i have a Passkey it is news to me and i have not been able to find what it is to click on it to complete the login. I have been all over Google Security trying to find some way to delete the Passkey without success. I dont know what to do next and i turned off 2FA while i work on solving this problem .My PC has Win10 and doesnt support Win11 upgrade but it works great and i dont plan to replace it until later in mid 2025. Im not stupid about computers, but also not a big techie. I usually manage to "fix" any PC problem i have ...it just takes longer and more trial and error. At this point i dont know what to do to get rid of a Passkey I dont know i have or how i got it. I have a Dell PC, Samsung TabA7 tablet and Apple 2nd gen SE phone. I guess i will just have to keep looking until i stumble into a fix. Your video is probably very helpful to the average sophisticated user. Thanks for the effort.

Unfortunately, they don't offer a credit freeze in Canada. I have put a fraud alert on my credit file requesting that any company call me before approving any credit in my name.

segregated email is hugely important. Have an email for junk and sketchy mailing lists too. Further, you can use pseudonyms on these email accounts so the name corresponding is not your legal name. With data aggregators, you can alter the info by submitting misleading and altered personal details so there is inconsistency in this online profile.

What about using a SIM card lock facility on your phone?

I have been using Surfshark for a year. I didn't notice anything different, except that I was often blocked by certain sites, such as Amazon. All in all it was a bit of a mess. Then I stumbled across Naomi Brockwell's channel and realised that VPN services are no better than Google when it comes to selling your data to other companies. After uninstalling Surfshark from all my devices, I suddenly noticed that my iPad mini's battery life improved dramatically. I switched to Mullvad VPN, but it doesn't work well on iOS devices because there is no split tunneling. In short, I now just use Adguard to block all kinds of trackers and it works pretty well on all my devices. I am not very tech-savvy, but I am concerned about my privacy.

Do not use Windscribe! It totally messed up my network! I have a paid VPN in use on two Win10 desktop computers. I have a new Win11 laptop which is not connected to the paid VPN. That VPN will expire in March and I will not renew, so I decided to try Windscribe's free version on the Win11 laptop. After difficulty, I got Windscribe free installed and activated on the Win11 laptop. Imagine my RAGE when I discovered Windscribe had ruined my network connection to the two Win10 computers! I tried to uninstall it from my laptop with Revouninstaller Pro, only to get the message I had to exit it first. Well, how to "exit" the POS? I had to research that. I found: log in to Windscribe account (I wasn't still logged in?), under Security, delete both Delete Sessions and Delete VPN Creds. I clicked "Delete Sessions, at which time Delete VPN Creds disappeared. I logged in again. Both options were then available, but I clicked only Delete VPN Creds. After all that crap, I was then able to uninstall Windscribe from my laptop with Revouninstaller Pro. The uninstall showed dozens of Windscribe's leftover crap in my laptop's registry, which Revouninstaller also deleted. FYI - I also have an OLD laptop with Ubuntu 22 on it. I installed the Proton free version on it with NO network problems with my Win10 computers.

My bank does that already on a couple of my cards. But I’m definitely going to check that out.

Very clear, unambiguous and helpful video, well explained, to the point and without any angles. Nice one.

Very useful information

Nice Alaska shirt, almost 30 years spent in that great State

I have difficulty trusting online password managers.

Sorry but I've been doing tech a long time and a lot of this isn't true I expecting a very big breakdown I like you have stopped the marketing speak but a lot isn't correct there is decent vpns out there.

This has been the best thing I listened to today. Thank you SO much. I love the separate email and forcing the apps to open using Face ID- I will be doing that immediately

Twitter supports yubikeys.

Great video!

I use samsung pass/samsung wallet/google password manager

I'm waiting for 2FAS password manager it's coming

Stop being stupid. Use cash as much as possible. When the time comes and those in control of your electronic currency decide they don't like you for whatever reason, they will shut off your access to your currency like turning off a light switch.

You’re not talking about Steam games are you? Proton is also the name of a compatibility layer by Valve to enable Windows games to be played on Linux. But that’s a good topic for another video, or a comment to another video. Are you talking about ProtonMail

They will make and sell many things that are unnecessary

So do you still get your points if actual credit card number is not used by spple pay etc.

i just got my new mac-mini m4 pro .. it's bin a while for me getting back to osx. But i'm going to disable the whole autofill and password.. i prefer keepassxc that i also use on my iphone and on my linux machines and windows.. And i sync between devices nothing is stored in the cloud.

Easy fix...... You have to come into the store and show ID and the phone you are going to use to get a sim swap. No more doing this over the phone.

where is setup???

For me, it’s important that the SmartDNS works quickly and reliably. I’ve tried several services and found one that worked perfectly for my needs. If you want to test out a service, there are some with great trial periods to help you evaluate the quality beforehand, like SmartDNS PRO (it offers a free trial), so you can see if it fits your needs

And we are the one who blurred your house, car number faces etc bcz yup am a googler

Yes, give your data to Google an apple. They are so trustworthy. 🤔🤔🤔🙃🫠🙂

I made mistake of entering my lock iD code n it is a irrating now constantly tapping to open it up n doesn’t always catch ur pressing right digits to open it I’ve tried turning this Lock Screen feature off n it still remains on my screen sometimes it will use Face ID instead but most always will Still make me enter the code # even after It uses Face ID the only one it locks out is me I’d rather have it unlocked n open then constantly tapping buttons all time

This would be a killer app for ai. Eula analysis.

Thank you!

Did you quit? Or is the title clickbait?

Bottom line..."you cannot fix stupid". I teach adults, I also teach old adults the fundamentals of the web. I have a group of statements I send the students out with. Do not trust anyone. Do your own research type in the web address do not click on any link. Is that really your son, husband, sister, mother, aunt or daughter? Do NOT click on any link sent as an email. Stuff is cheaper than FaceBook.

Look he's right in one way 'you can't fix stupid', most people do get hacked because they do stupid things. VPN's and IS are perfect for these consumers as it really does have a Zero Knowledge framework. But for those 'in the know' (by that I mean even this guy in this video, you shouldn't listen to him either) a VPN may not be necessary, IS yes please get it everyone. In Australia most people get tricked, scammed or hacked because of the absence of IS

He's dreaming. For my bank and credit cards I would LOVE to use a security key assuming I get also get it to work with a smartphone. The problem is, NONE OF THESE ACCOUNTS GIVE A YUBIKEY OPTION and as far as I can see, they never will, or at least, I have no reason to believe they ever will, In fact, almost all of these institutions use SMS-texted codes for mandatory 2FA which is the least secure method possible due to SIM swap scams. Guys like this should not be preaching to us, we already agree. He should be trying to influence the financials institutions to accept physical security keys but...oh yeah, they don't care what he or anybody else suggests lol.

You say download my security checklist, Tell why is it when I click on the link I can't download the check list with other giving my name and email address? That right there makes me nervous.

Is subscribe and Ike

What happens if someone hacks into your Google account? Will they gain access to all your codes?

I sim swap. I swap sim cards from my flip phone to my smart phone if i need to take a photo and send it to my employer. Then the sim goes right back into my flip phone!

Interesting and informative

7:26 Is the credit thaw new? I bought a car last year and had so many issues trying to release my credit freeze - the bureau wouldn't let me do it online, I had to send a LETTER to them, which took extra time and delayed my purchase. I know having my credit frozen is more secure, but that was an incredible PITA.

Two year old video... this is almost entirely outdated now.

This guy is brilliant and awesome! Thank you!😊

IWATCH uses Bluetooth... is it possible to keep that but turn it off to everything else???
