Here's why you should stop memorizing your passwords

Показать описание

Have you ignored advice on using password managers? This video is for you.

Every time a big company is hacked, like when Yahoo got hacked in 2016 and exposed the personal info of over 1 billion accounts, experts tell us to stop trying to memorize all of our password and to use a password manager instead. A password manager is basically a virtual safe where you can safely store all of your passwords. Since when you use a password manager you don't have to remember every single password anymore, you can make them really long and complicated. Your passwords are also encrypted so even if your password manager gets hacked, all of the individual passwords stored within are safe from hackers.

If I was a hacker, I would create a Password Manager so that everybody'd send me their passwords.

So if I use the same password on every account I can become an American?

You're telling me to stop memorizing my passwords? I don't! The secret is resetting your password anytime you want to get into your account. It is extremely annoying but I don't think I've gotten hacked YET :)

3:00 "And besides, it's better than the alternative: becoming one of the millions of Americans that get hacked every year." Agree, I don't want to be hacked every year and I definitely don't want to become an American.

I feel like a big reason why people don't use password managers is because it feels like yet another vulnerability.

The average person doesn't really know what ways a password can and can't be stolen. Therefore, they might see a password manager as "yet another door" for a hacker to not just steal their accounts, but steal ALL accounts they have. While if they just cycle through a few simple passwords, at worst like 50% of their accounts can be stolen if a single account gets hacked, instead of this 100%. There's a lot of cognitive bias involved in this way of thinking, but that's just how humans are, especially with such a "wizard" subject as hacking.

"Any two-watt bulbs?"
"For what?"
"That'll do. I'll take two."
"Two what?"
"I thought you didn't have any."
"Any what?"
"Yes please."

Thats why I have my passwords written down physically in a notepad instead of on a computer.

So all your super hard to guess randomised passwords will be protected by an easy password you made
