I lost my YouTube account and years of work and income through my Google account. Tremendous damage can be done to people. Crooks can't benefit from theft of my videos, but really crushed me. I will learn how to protect my new channel. Thanks for this video! Rich

Thank you for this video. I watched about 10 just like this and what I liked about this one is how easy it was to follow and how clear you were in explaining.

Hands down, tNice tutorials is THE best beginner video I've watched. Others want to brag about all the sample, loops, etc they have. You keep

He did a very good job imo. Explaining the basics step by step. English is not my first language and I have no experience in using DAWs

[RedWollip]

Wow great explanation to security issues in Google

[westbccoast]

Excellent video thank you. The piece that I am a little fuzzy on is the Yubico authenticator piece. You answered all my questions especially about the recovery phone and email.

Tristan, how does yubikey on my google account effect my youtube tv account? Will I need the yubikey to stream YouTube tv?

[milesinaz]

Wow, great video, Tristan. Thanks so much. Clearest explanation for securing a gmail account I have ever heard.

If someone tells you something can't be hacked, they're either trying to sell you something or they don't really understand hacking. There are lots of "unhackable" things that have been hacked.

Truly liked the way you have explained how to secure one's account. This is very very useful. Thanks

[mdtaylor]

Thank you Tristan! You've just helped me save a lot of time and this was easy to follow.

12:07 what if you already have 2FA already setup? How would you get it onto the key?

[vcVijay]

i am confused. At 12:10 are you setting up the authenticator on the PC or on the phone? Your languages suggests u r setting it up on PC -- but the graphic shows "SCAN the QR CODE" -- so how did you scan the qr code on the laptop? My question is will this authenticator require a phone? Or can it just be installed on a PC?

not know, but just know you've affected my life, and apparently tens of thousands of others, in an imnsely positive way. Thank you

What are the differences from the regural and the free trial one

[rafliidhamul]

You train so well! It's like you comprehend my tempo...

[fish]

Thank you . You really make sense of these keys .

[phxpaul]

if a Ubikey was built like a usb drive, I would use one. But the one I had a few years ago was just a piece of cheap plastic with the metal contacts exposed. It would not set correctly in the usb port and 60% of the time had a loose, intermittent connection, which caused failure errors

[predatorjoutube]

I'm not sure but an alternative second step like backup codes does not appear in my case. Maybe because I already added a second key or google remove this option.

The default tempo for the soft is 120 and when i set the tempo to 100 and played it again, the midi plays again in 120 bpm in tempo. Can
