Do this and you should be safe online

[@davdelven]

For laymen like me, watching such videos for the first time really puts off online activity. The only exception I perceive is if you are a real security freak or your activism is simply worth rewarding.

[@sophiegadoury]

Yes I appreciate the fact that you are answering questions from the community at the end of the video!

You are one of the bst KZbinr I watch you since 376 Followers Make so on!

Hey Sun, I completely understand u. You think that using these clickbaits thumbnails, people who click on the video may get disappointed that the content is not what they are looking for. But when someone sees a thumbnail like this, they are just expecting that the content will be useful and up-to-date. And this is exactly what you are providing in the videos. To be perfect, I think that you just need to add some tech info into the titles 🚀

[@b_bullish6700]

Sun I really like the click bait titles. It just makes the content seem more exciting. Also I love your content and am so grateful for it. I litterally had the worst security possible b4 i started watching you and thanks to you it has been vastly improved

[@johnholme783]

Thanks for the info! I had to learn about computer security the hard way! Wish I had seen videos like this several years ago!

[@JonnyD000]

Great video, looking forward to the clipboard episode. I've been curious about that topic for a while.

[@mc-ty4br]

I agree with you, click-baity titles might don't feel like a good a good fit for your content. HOWEVER, if the stats show more reach/interactivity then it's worth it.

[@MrVagyok]

Totally, I was about to say this too. 🤟👍

[@mc-ty4br]

Waiting on that YubiKey miniseries 🙏

[@bschetanswaroopreddy7237]

I, personally, am loving these thumbnails back but no worries Sun, You can and probably should use the thumbnails you want to be featured. Anyway, Exceptional Video!

[@sunknudsen]

Thanks for the support. Using less clickbaity thumbnails does feel right… it’s hard to find the right balance between “gaming the algorithm” vs staying authentic to one’s self knowing it results in less discoverability.

[@FulanodeTal-wh8ub]

love your content!! short videos with plenty information!!

[@samathastevens5831]

Also, all those security phrases don't use something anyone could relate to you. Or general public information. I accidentally hacked into someone else's email once, and I know nothing! I was trying to set up a school account. I really should have had a coffee or energy drink first! But they were using Yahoo mail. I went out and tried setting this up according to their insutructions. Somehow, I got to an e-mail by a person with a very similiar name to mine. My password wasn't working, so I thought I must have changed it right before I was distracted for a sec. So I click "forgot password" The security question "who won the us open last year". I googled it. Then I reset their password!! I realized as soon as I was in that there were all these emails about golf and it was somebody's account! So...make those security questions really far out there. And the password something no one would ever link to you. Just my advice.

Which Yubikey would you recommend using?

[@sunknudsen]

For most use cases, I would recommend the YubiKey 5 NFC or YubiKey 5C NFC.

[@jorge_c]

You mention Trezor but you missed the fact it can also be used as a FIDO2 device which can be recovered with the seed phrase. For that reason I prefer a Trezor or Ledger over a Yubikey

[@theoneD1]

IM JUST CURIOUS SUN, HAS YOUR COMPUTER EVER BEEN COMPROMISED? HOW DID YOU FEEL? AND WHAT IMMEDIATE ACTION DID YOU TAKE TO PREVENT IT FROM SPREADING?

Interesting question… Step 1: disconnect internet by unplugging modem. Other steps depend on exploit.

What are your thoughts on people search sites? With just a phone number for example, you can look up someone’s address, full name etc. Opting out of these sites seems useless as the information is public

Do you recommend using password managers on Mobile devices?

[@sunknudsen]

It is safer to use both password manager and multi-factor authentication app on contemporary mobile operating systems vs on desktop. That said, when possible, I recommend air gapping both.

[@angus928]

Can we get an update on if you have upgrade to Big Sur? or still sticking with Catalina? Would really appreciate it, thanks!

WHAT IF YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A DEAD SPOT/DEAD ZONE WHERE A SIGNAL IS FROM WEAK TO NO SIGNAL AND YOU DONT RECEIVE THE 2 STEP VERIFICATION CODE AND YOU TRY LIKE 3-4 TIMES AND STILL NOTHING. IS IT POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE COULD INTERCEPT YOUR PHONE TO GRAB THE CODE? AND COULD THAT BE THE REASON FOR A WEAK SIGNAL?, LETS SAY YOU USE AN OLD BRICK PHONE (NOT SMARTPHONE), WOULD THAT BE POSSIBLE?

[@sunknudsen]

I would recommending avoiding SMS 2FA altogether because of SIM port attacks… using app such as OTP Auth on iOS is more convenient and secure. One level up from there is using a security key such as YubiKey (more on this shortly).

[@meister-t]

2 bad experiences: I used to use 2FA, but then I came across a post by someone who's phone stopped working and changed phones, and they lost access to everything. LastPass blocked me from my account after we had a power outage, so I used my phone's internet to make an access point for my laptop, went to log in as usual, and they blocked my account. I lost access to everything!

It is always safer to save passwords locally… that said, I have not researched Firefox Lockwise so I cannot comment. That said, interesting topic!

IF YOUR WIFI WAS COMPROMISED, WOULD USING YOUR "1PASSWORD" BE UNSAFE? WOULD IT MATTER IF YOU USE A VPN? OR CAN HACKERS STILL BREACH THE "1PASSWORD"?

IF YOU USE A WIFI THAT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, AND YOU PLUG IN THE "UBIKEY" WOULD THAT COMPROMISED THE UBIKEY'S SECURITY?

It depends on the exploit… theoretically, key material is safe given compartmentalization. That said, someone could exfiltrate password and TOTP token and quickly change credentials to takeover account.

[@theoneD1]

[@MrVagyok]

YubiKey never allows to export outside of the secure element any private key material, unless you set it up for using the YubiKey for GPG in which case you provide private & public keys and add it to the YubiKey. Isn’t that?

A good descriptive/standing out thumbnail, with a catchphrase is awesome. But CLICKBAIT is killing KZbin for me. Turns everything into manufactured commercial content. The only reason I like watching your channel is because there is an honesty to the way you present yourself and the content.

Could you upload your videos in 4K again? The bitrate of your uploads sadly seems pretty low and it is kind of offputting to be honest, since pretty much every channel uploads in 4K now. I am aware that your videos have their value in your knowledge and not in the visuals, and I am very grateful for your knowledge. But editing wise, your videos are not very complex so it shouldn't make that much of a difference to you I suppose :) Anyway, keep up the good work and I am looking forward to your M1 Mac videos!
