So what is the real solution? For me the solution to both privacy and security is to have different personas online: one for professional work (e.g.
#Alternative to 1password 7 password#
Loosing emails has a less catastrophic effect than the password but if leaked, it can lead to the following consequences: Password Manager only protects the password and not the email. There are usually two parts to login: the username/email and password. So all good right? Not exactly because Password Manager is only half the solution to the security issue. But the good news is that now Google and Apple have integrated their own password managers inside Chrome and iPhone/Mac, making the Password Manager concept more accessible to the general public. One of the reasons is because of the difficult and unusual setup process, especially on phones. These tools are gaining more popularity now that users are more and more concerned with privacy but these users are still the minority.
As loosing this master password will open the port to all our secrets, each password manager has their own multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect it, ranging from one-time password (TOTP) to printing a secret key that you bring with you all the time. Their principle is simple: there's a master password that allows you to manage all other passwords (should we call the other ones slave passwords then 😜?). That's why Password Managers like LastPass, Dashlane, 1Password, etc are created. Re-using the same password for different websites is bad in terms of security as if a hacker got his hand on a website's database, he/she will have access to your other accounts.īut generating a different password for each website and remembering them is impossible for a human being 😅.
