Passwords: Links & Articles

Here are some interesting and helpful links & articles about passwords:
  • Check out my post on Passwords & Dual-Factor Authentication

Links:
  • Try out a variation of one of your passwords on How Secure is My Password
  • Go to Have I Been Pwnd and see if your credentials have already been stolen.
  • Take a look at some Password Managers and think about installing one.
  • There are many websites that generate strong passwords, here's one: passwordsgenerator.net

Articles:
  • I developed my technique for generating strong & unique passwords from this article:
    • Manjoo, Farhad. "Fix Your Terrible, Insecure Passwords in Five Minutes." (2009, Jul. 24) Slate.com. visited 1/9/2020.
  • A password manager makes maintaining strong & unique passwords easier. Some might worry that using a password manager is putting all your eggs in one basket and makes you more exposed, but those worries are probably overblown.
    • Cunningham, Andrew.  "Why You Need a Password Manager. Yes, You." (2019, Sept. 2). The New York Times. visited 1/9/2020.
    • Fowler, Geoffrey A. "Password managers have a security flaw. But you should still use one." (2019, Feb. 19). The Washington Post. visited 1/9/2020.
    • Hoffman, Chris. "How Safe Are Password Managers?" (2019, Nov. 14). How-To Geek. visited 1/9/2020
