Don't use Google or any other provider (Facebook, etc.) to log into other sites. Use that password manager, and set up individual accounts on each site.

@D.von.N Год назад

That is what I do. I am always suspicious when I am to have all accounts linked. I don't do it. Each has its unique password. And on the entertainment websites, like FB or YT, I don't even enter my real personal details LOL. It's none of their business.

@danwake4431 Год назад

also use a different email for each site. Makes it harder for them to build a profile. And if you start getting spam, you know which provider sold your info.

I remeber when Gmail allowed one to automatically logoout when you closed the tab but Google has switched to east of use vs security. This is why hackers are able to rename channels and do mass deletion of videos without having to supply and verification credentials. Ease of use vs security will bite you in the ass.

does advanced protection prevent google's ai from scanning through all your emails, or does it encrypt them at rest as well now?

@Me_Ewe_and_Yarn_Cheryl Год назад

Thanks for another informative and useful video. I've been in the habit for many years now of logging out of everything once I've finished using the site and usually I'll clear all history, active logins, cache, cookies and form data at the end of the session. I don't store my passwords on my computer. I manually enter them every time I access a site. Seems like a huge inconvenience to most, but it makes me feel that my data is more secure. I've recently changed all my passwords following your suggestions and the brute force estimated time to crack is 15bn years. Still, the physical key sound like another useful layer.

I would like your comments on security issues when using Windows sandbox vs booting to Linux from a USB key. My main concern is if some how my daily desktop got infected with a key logger that it would be able to record my entries into SandBox. But having to boot into Mint Linux from a USB drive is a pain.

@dingdong2103 Год назад

Why use the USB when you can boot to linux every time and run windows as a KVM image. It's the best way to use windows, snapshot a clean known install and then revert back to it every time you suspect windows got infected (and it will).

thanks Ron! 1. No you dont need to keep a key plugged in. You only need to use it when you log out of your account or the first time you sign into the account on a new computer or phone. You then plug it in (or tap it on the phone its its NFC) and then its done. 2. You can download Backup Code so if you lose both keys you can use that. You can also set up Authenticator and phone and a recovery email address to there is a way to get it back.

@cheeseparis1 Год назад

Thanks, this is very useful. what I understand (thanks to your answers in comments) is that you can't log out without your Yubikey (and that you can't get logged out by a malware). what I deduce is that you can stay logged in and use your accounts just as before, without the threat of getting the session cookie used, even if they steal it. That would be perfect for me. Am I right?

@LironSegev Год назад

so lets say you ran the malware and they get your session and are able to log into your account. If you had the key set up and they tried to remove it, they would need to put in the password first. Since they don't have it, they wouldn't be able to, therefore you would be able to log back into your account.
