hibiscus tea 🎶🌻I just discovered something that most of you may already know. I was using my phone, and I went to log into the website for a grocery store I use fairly frequently. I noticed a little check beside that password in the password manager, Bitwarden, that I started using on my phone a couple of years ago. (I use a different one on my laptop.) I had never noticed this check mark before, and I clicked it. Up pops a message saying "this password has appeared in one data breach" -- or something to that effect.I was surprised and immediately changed that password. Now I'm thinking I should check all my passwords. I didn't know to do that before, or even that I had that capability.<a href="https://c.im/tags/OnlineSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OnlineSecurity</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/DataBreach" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataBreach</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Passwords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Passwords</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PasswordManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PasswordManager</a>

EdwinekPart3:Multi-factor authentication / 2FA: - I use Authy as an authenticator app, and enable 2FA on every site that offers it. But if you only use it for your e-mail provider, that'sa major improvement.Extra indulgence: - I've subscribe to Incogni for one year. They will try to get your e-mail address removed with as many data brokers as possible. Unfortunately only for one e-mail address.I think that's everything, but I'm open for other tips and tricks. Sorry for the long post.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#security</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/onlineSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#onlineSecurity</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/malware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#malware</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/tracking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tracking</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/passwords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#passwords</a>

EdwinekPart 2:Disposable e-mail addresses: I only use my real e-mail address for truly trusted recipients. What about all others? Well... - SimpleLogin.io will allow you to create as many e-mail addresses as you like (only about 5 in a free account though). I've added my own custom domain. Added bonus is that you can see which e-mail addresses generate spam. In that case disabling the address is simple.Secure cloud storage: I wanted to stop using Google Drive, because, well, Google - pCloud will let you buy (not rent) cloud space, buy once and keep using it as long as you like. pCloud is a Swiss company, so protected by strict privacy law. It also integrates nicely with Linux, WIndows or MacOSPasswords: - Bitwarden does this pretty well and secure.

EdwinekJust in case you're interested, this is how I try to stay secure and private online. (multipart)Ads and trackers: Malware is dangerous, trcking kills your privacy and ads are simply annoying and slow down your browsing, so: - NextDNS will filter out most ads, malware and trackers. Aditionally, you get encrypted DNS and if necessary some extra filters like gambling or porn - The uBlock Origin browser plugin does the same blocking, I've added it in case NextDNS misses something - The Trace Online Tracking Protection browser plugin will prevent browser fingerprinting, this only seems to work on Linux, not on my Chromebook. Just have a peek at <a href="https://www.amiunique.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.amiunique.org/</a>... - Don't use Chrome browser (or Edge).
