Thank you for listening about the scammers
Hey guys, one great way to support this channel (and improve your own security) is to grab a 2FA key from Yubico, the sponsor of this video. Find the right key for you: https://geni.us/yubico-store
I have tried it too. To be locked out is a PITA. So now I use a strong PW and 2FA. It's essential with a Google account. Thanks.
Thanks!
Hey bud great video, thank you for the tips. I'll give you a tip in return. The mic you are using is meant to have the audio come in the front, not the top. So you would want to flip the mic up and speak into the front of the mic. Just make sure you are speaking into the front and not the back. Your audio will improve GREATLY if you do that. I'm a professional audio engineer so recording and mixing is my profession! Anyway, just a friendly tip. Thanks again for the video!
Fantastic!! A 2FA key is what I need. I was thinking that today. I forgot my password to my Nordpass. What a headache. Still waiting for them to contact me. Good thing I have biometrics on the phone. I've been wishing I had one on my laptop.๐
Fudge. All new new info for me. Thanks for the info.
hey! really good and educational video! incredibly useful for anyone. one crucial thing though; don't use your mobile phone number for 2FA or as a recovery method in general! whatever you do, don't do it! don't use your phone number as a recovery method anywhere on any platform at all! it allows for "sim-swapping" attacks to take place and be used to gain access to everything you use your phone number for. keep this in mind wherever you sign up! you should make a video about this and "sim-swapping" in general. โค๏ธ
I was already doing all this but it never hurts to revisit things just to stay current on security. Great video -- short, concise, clear and good visual examples provided. No fluff, no crap, just solid information that everyone should know. Just one thing ... follow Matthew Kutoloski's advice on your mic. Some people watch YT videos on their phones, some of us use much more complicated equipment. I'm one of the latter.
I recently found you channel and glad that I have. You have the ability to make sense from a basic user to an advance user.
2FA is vulnerable and this method give information to Google regarding your other devices; which it will now tie into its analysis of who and where you are, where you go, who you know, and all other issues Google should not be monitoring
I like your security advice. In fact I think you're one of the best guys on here. You give practical advise with out going over the top.
i've recently been attacked by who knows who in the online world, and have been getting emails about suspicious people trying to sign in, or successfully signing into my accounts. i've had to outright shut down two accounts on different websites, and am going full blown max security on everything. its been annoying to deal with this new security stuff, but i feel safer and less vulnerable.
Thank You. I have made my way to my account's security page in the past. The video was a good reminder to do so again.
Happy that I watched this video. Have long had my Yubikey and would never give them up.
Great tips, Super clear and very easy to implement. I did some housecleaning
I need this because my parents are childish and "never wrong"
Good tips guy. Already have multiple yubi keys so no problem on that.๐๐ป
Hey, a YubiKey ad disguised as a security video. Very thinly disguised. Holy crap!
