notifications with the bell icon so you won't miss any future videos wouldn't it

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:13,840
be nice if everyone was just honest 100 of the time well okay well actually no

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:17,760
that could have unforeseen consequences but it would at least relieve us of the

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,240
hassle of keeping track of tons of passwords security questions and pins

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:26,080
just to keep narrative wells out of our personal biz

7
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:31,599
and this isn't a small problem one study from 2017 indicated that it is

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:35,920
typical for a single email address to be used for a hundred and thirty online

9
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,480
accounts how are you supposed to remember all those passwords i mean i

10
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:43,520
can't even name 130 of the original pokemon

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:47,520
we got bulbasaur charmander pikachu

12
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:53,840
squirtle got like uh it's snorlax of pokemon you got eevee

13
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,600
eevee is a pokemon i think the little caterpillar one did you say

14
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:02,480
amish oh oddish that makes more sense

15
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,760
um what's magikarp magikarp oh i hate magikarp

16
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:10,000
so this is where a good password manager might be able to save the day for you

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:13,920
the idea behind a password manager is that all of your passwords will be

18
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,759
stored in one place but of course i'm not talking about the

19
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,520
super high tech method of writing them down on a piece of paper need to make a

20
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:27,840
password just add it to your password minder instead a password manager will

21
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:30,159
securely store your passwords behind one

22
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:35,439
master password this way you'll only have to remember one strong password

23
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:39,680
instead of 130 while still keeping those others away from prying eyes now there

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,200
are plenty of password managers out there but the first decision that you'll

25
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,960
need to make when choosing one is whether you want a local or a

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,600
cloud-based solution password managers that you install

27
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:55,840
locally on one computer are actually still a viable option these days they

28
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,680
keep your passwords encrypted on your own hard drive which means that you

29
00:01:57,759 --> 00:02:02,719
don't have to trust the cloud although some of them do offer optional cloud

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:06,799
backup the issue though is that while local

31
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:10,640
password managers can offer a little bit of comfort to those who are worried

32
00:02:08,479 --> 00:02:14,879
about a prominent cloud-based solution becoming a target of hackers they can

33
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,920
also mean that your passwords will all be lost if something happens to your

34
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,080
computer or worse if someone steals it

35
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,400
so these days cloud-based password managers have gotten much more popular

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,640
as your password sit on a secure server somewhere that can be accessed from

37
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:33,920
anywhere else allowing you to quickly get into your important accounts if

38
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:38,959
something happens to your phone or your laptop but many password managers come

39
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:44,560
with features outside of just saving your passwords for example most of them

40
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:49,280
can auto-generate pseudo-random secure passwords for all of your accounts and

41
00:02:46,879 --> 00:02:53,840
then auto-fill them for you by means of a browser extension or a smartphone app

42
00:02:51,920 --> 00:03:00,160
this is especially useful because it encourages you to avoid the widespread

43
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:02,800
and terrible practice of reusing the

44
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:07,200
same password over and over on different sites this is really important because

45
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:11,920
duplicate passwords mean that an attacker who steals let's say your

46
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:16,800
instagram password could then also suddenly have access to your email and

47
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:22,000
once they've got your email think about how many services like even your bank

48
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:26,000
account that can be reset by sending a password recovery email

49
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:30,159
so make sure that you take advantage of this feature regardless of what password

50
00:03:28,159 --> 00:03:34,080
manager that you go with other useful features include sharing account access

51
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:38,720
with folks of your choosing either permanently by just showing them the

52
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:40,799
login directly or temporarily by auto

53
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,560
filling it for them automatically changing passwords for sites that have

54
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:47,680
been breached and two-factor authentication which you can learn more

55
00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:50,879
about right up here so sounds pretty good then right well it

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:55,040
is but before you rush out to configure a

57
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:59,280
password manager keep a couple of caveats in mind the biggest one is that

58
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:06,000
you must use and remember a strong master

59
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:09,920
password this is not only to ensure that no one else can guess it but also

60
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,280
because the strength of the encryption used to protect all your other passwords

61
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:19,519
is often tied to how strong your master password is so if you're not sure how to

62
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:21,919
pick a secure master password we actually have a video to help you with

63
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:27,840
that up here also i know it's a hassle to remember a

64
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:30,960
strong password but at least this way you only need to commit one of them to

65
00:04:29,919 --> 00:04:35,199
memory the next one is that two-factor

66
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:40,240
authentication i mentioned before you should use it on your password manager

67
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,320
for sure but you should also keep using

68
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:46,880
a separate app for that on the individual accounts that support it this

69
00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:51,120
is just in case somebody does get into your password manager which could

70
00:04:48,639 --> 00:04:55,440
otherwise be a single point of failure if it's ever compromised so although

71
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:59,919
some password managers integrate two-factor functionality personally i'd

72
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:04,160
rather take the few extra seconds to punch in those six digits myself

73
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:07,919
rather than have my employees find out what i really think of them

74
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:12,320
speaking of employees this sponsor is gonna pay for them
