Rod Simmons for the SMRPodcast is here to share his advice on password managers; are they still worth using, how should a secure password manager operate and recommendations. Microsoft releases PhoneLink for iOS and expands PC Game Pass to more markets and updates for Windows 11. Plus will the UK’s proposed C-SAM legislation force encrypted service providers out of Britain?

Pain in My LastPass - GDI 4466 starts at 31:28


The password manager discussion continues. Vaults inside vaults. Check on the money and email accounts first. Do you still use secret questions for security? Rod has some great tips on changing or using a password manager. Have you used a YubiKey? Do you use a work phone and a personal phone? There is a floating Acedtect out there. How many sites would you need to change if you used Last Pass? Do you know your Last Pass score? Clean up your duplicates.

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia, and thanks for the info on password managers! Some notes about my migration from Lastpass that could be useful to others: - some sites won't give you feedback on valid password length, which means you're trialling and resetting passwords until you get one that's valid. Other services put strange/outdated limitations (six characters alphanumeric passwords?) - think about what services you need accessing from places you can't use your password manager before setting up a long password. You don't want to be typing 60+ characters into your playstation! - use this as an opportunity to close unused accounts.
