Add 2FA/MFA on your password manager 👍

Keep going bro
What do you think about protonmail, protonvpn and Tresorit for backup

Hey, Grant,
I would like to ask you for some advice. So here I am studying CCENT to start off in IT. My goal is cyber security. Do you think after CCNA and before CCNA Security, I should learn python and Linux? and that before CCNA Security, I need to look at getting Security + cert first to branch out into security? Thank you.
Hi Yi. I would say look into getting the CCENT, then learn Linux & Python before CCNA. At least get a good overview of the content. Make sure to to have direction and a plan to commit to, you don't want to overwhelm yourself with all of those certifications.
Deny-all principle; beginning with administrator account and add access to assets as needed in case by case basis.
How many years course is cyber security?
what happens of the computer your password manager is installed on suddenly breaks? How can you get your new computer to interact with the websites when you don't know your own passwords?
what if i back up maleware ? is that even possible ?
Is there any social media in which one can reach you for personal advice?
You can contact me through my email or Twitter account!
Curious about what you're gonna say when you graduate...is it going to be "cyber security graduate, majored in cyber security" or will you not have an intro? Cuz holy shit we get it, you're a cyber security student ffs
cool vids tho, keep em coming
Plus grant, which semester did you finished lately?
I finished my third semester!
@@collinsinfosec joined your discord server...people in your server are amazing
*laughs in C*
use a password manager? really? when hacking the manager, all your passwords will be refused by the attacker. better remember passwords. rules for lamers
Why should it be an application? Use paper and remember that sometimes the best option is the simpler one. Stay safe outta there
I understand what you are saying, however, at the end of the day it comes down to the fact that the average tech user often times doesn't follow password best practices, resulting in weak, re-used or slightly altered passwords. Even though password managers introduce an SPoF, password reuse, retention, and weaknesses often lead to more of a risk than a password manager which has one very strong master password. I think we must remember security is about the calculation and quantification of risk. Weak and reused passwords introduce more of a calculated risk than those of password managers. I may be wrong when it comes to this debate or topic. I often listen to several different security podcasts and follow security websites which all recommend one commonality: use a password manager. I am relaying this information to this audience. It's definitely an interesting debate in the security industry :-)
You need reasearch how password managers actually work.
@@WannyPena Wanny Pena my 1password was hacked and all my passwords was fused.

:-P I know what you mean! It's very repetitive, the only reason I say this in my videos is for anyone who is new to my channel.
