Topic: How Secure are Password Managers? Here’s What to Keep in Mind (Read 211 times)

On STEEM, EOS or BITSHARES? have crypto?

Self proclaimed community watchdogs are actually hacking and stalking people.

This group https://steemit.com/@steemspeak is ran by https://steemit.com/@fyrstikken, They are hacking people that enter this discord server https://discordapp.com/invite/sqxV63P . Once you are hacked they profile you long enough to know all of your activities. They introduce workplace gangstalking visits and bring it to your attention cleverly and discretely so only you get it. They are very covert and tricky with everything they say and do in this server. Some claim to have worked for or are working with the FBI and the NSA. Mixed with decommissioned traders and coding criminals, Its a scary mix of creepy people and their intent is to drive you crazy and deplete everything you have ever acquired in life, even your freedom.

My hacking started with them introducing ransomware that has options, dump my coin or delete my system drive. They acknowledged this to me in the server as it happened.

This hacking and stalking is done so they can manipulate the target to pump and dump for them. Threatening and Making victims wear head phones, so nobody in your household can hear thier dramatization towards you. In 2017 this server was side marked as a drama show for entertainment purposes only as an excuse to say whatever they want all the way down to killing a politician. They have a server side command called "hey asshole" making a prompt come up instructing everyone to wear headphones. They want everyone wearing headphones so nobody in your vicinity can hear them mess with you. Fystikken says its because of "mic feedback" but once your a target you get exactly why they make everyone wear headphones.

With headphones on they subliminally direct victims with very low suggestive whispers mixed into their radio shows music. Combine this with them being able to manipulate their own individual outputs sound volume, which they control on the server side, they can pick what individual people hear at any given time. They decide who you hear on the server and change the volume controls for them. They can make some really low or off for those trying to investigate. They control who hears what and know who is who.

This team will find absolutely everything they can about you prior to using their suggestive and threatening program. They Introduce pictures that mean something only to the target, inducing paranoia while they watch and listen thru all of your circumvented devices. They are very aware of what makes you tick. They know your work schedule and use it for work stalking along side of this. I received multiple threatening letters to my work and home addressed to my screen name from this group.

Fyrstikken tells people they are drafted like they did with Facebook at the beginning. He says Facebook was started by forced labor and V2K controlled slaves, just like he creates with his gang for steem and crypto. "Get to work bitch" he tells people once circumvented and intimidated.

If you are an agent Investigating them, guess what? Better start packing. You are circumvented. They are high tech, over funded and well connected.

I know that password managers are very fast in inputting one’s password into the space of password on any site that we intend it to remember the password for, but what I usually tell people is that someone actually created that software, and have you ever asked yourself the intention of the password creator and what he stands to benefit from it because most of the password managers that I have seen to be installed are free of charge which I usually do fear anything that is giving free of charge.

I prefer to just have whatever password in my memory, and whichever one that is too hard for me, i have it in a flash drive, secure it in a place and then back it up on another flash drive too for me not to lose it, which I try to keep the flash drive in a place that is only accessible by me and secured.

They always sounded like the worst possible website there could be, I know they suppose to be very legit and very secure but at the same time why would I let them know all of my passwords even if I trust them?

I mean in the end what if they just end up getting hacked? We are talking about thousands (even millions for some) of peoples passwords all gone with one hack, then how could those people ever recover. That is why I would never use them, I have a method where I use passwords according to what the website is doing, like lets assume it is an exchange then I do "trading" at the start and then something I use on all of my passwords, the later part is always the same but the first part changes depending on the websites purpose. It is better this way than giving all my info to someone else.

Other people really say that using a password manager is a good way to keep all of your accounts and password or your data safe. But in my own opinion, using a password manager is still not the best way to keep all of your data safe because when you are about to go online there are still hackers who can break their security easily, so the best solution is still keep it in your mind or write it in a piece of paper all of your accounts and passwords for you not to forget all of it.

I have never saved my password for an application or in a specific browser. I keep all the passwords and keys that I have in a data bank that I made myself and only I can access it. and for that, I reduce the risk of a hack for all my keys and passwords.

To be honest I have never used any additional applications or to manage passwords, I only manage them privately as I store them properly, and maybe always update passwords if necessary. Managing passwords from third parties or other applications honestly will make me worry. So in this issue, I think as long as we are confident in our self-managed passwords, that is enough for us to be safe.

with different customs as managing tasks on completing option with decision on attains within the field of business with the online market place users might works on decision as expending as least to match of needs as qualifying different parts of challenge.

I have a lot of passwords for different websites, thats why I am storing them on paper in my desk. In my opinion if you have a password manager in your browser, the risk of losing all your passwords at once is pretty high.

We use it at my work place and so far we haven't experienced any problems but when it comes to my personal PC I prefer to have them stock on paper ( old school ) as you ever know what can happen with your data. I keep most of my important stuff on paper and that paper have a back-up paper  . I like to take extra safety but yea Password manager works just fine but I would not use it for crypto related stuff.

That acticle is really helpful and informative to be aware always to our account's protection and security. Well, I don't use such app like password manager but I learned something upon reading the article. I will follow those guidelines cause I know its helpful indeed. I can say that my passwords are complicated, I make sure that I am the only one knows my password. Everytime I receive notifications that my account is having a suspicious log in attempt, I do immediate password change.

print and save in several place make it more secure.our private keys security depend on our own strategy.never placed it in computer that used  by many people .and also dont ever let our friend use our computer its very risky.using password manager could help us to set best combination and strongest word as our password.

I will not mention a name I do have a friend who's been using a password manager and ask him if it is safe he told me it's 100% safe, because in case the hacker hacked the master password and try to login using the master password, the password manager will need an approval from the email to approve the login from a different IP, password manager is not yet very popular but they are proven to be strong protection.

We're all the same, I've never tried to use that application before. Because I do, I print my private keys and include them in my important documents. I also erase all my copies on my personal computer so that I am not victimized by hackers' virus softwares.

I used Google Password Manager a while ago but I ended up getting hacked, afterward, I stored all of my passwords in e-mail account but it ended up the same.
because of that, I refused to store all of my passwords online ever again because I believe there is no better place to keep your password other than inside your brain.
I had tried to store it on the paper too, but I ended up losing it.

yes I use it, I mean it is impossible we remember all our passwords, for example registering on exchange, social media and other accounts it is very helpful. When you log in you do not have to write it down again, it will be seen automatically.
I have used it for a long time and it's safe.

No, I am confident keeping my passwords offline and prefer writing it on my personal notes. I don’t feel secure keeping it on computer or mobile due to scary cyber threats that keeps on evolving everyday.

So far I only use notepad to protect my Ledger. All the privatekey that I have, I paste in my notebook and then I RAR with a complicated password. And this is very safe for me. Yes, of course, the laptop or computer that you use must be full of protection too. Sometimes it's not just key thieves but also web phishing that sometimes we forget to check when opening certain sites. So that our data is taken by him.

My thought has always been that, if I use password managers without having other backups, what if the system I use get lost or in an incidence of theft, I might not be able to recover it again. So, to avoid an eventual lost without recovery, I try to get a diary in which I pen down everything and details of those securities and passwords. Although, that doe not nullify the use of password managers, because it gives easy access.

I don't use application, I mean separate application. I do have some in notepad in my computer and cellphone but I add codes in it. So if ever someone access it , they will not notice it as password into something. I only used it to apps or websites I don't usually visit but I have account just incase I'll be needing it the next time since some websites have different format in inputting password.

I use chrome to manage passwords, and I have not faced danger so far.
If there are several passwords, it is possible to keep this in mind, but the increase in passwords makes it impossible. I think you should try a different method. You can not always be protected from viruses with this method. If you already have keylogger on your computer, it does not matter.
