Riffing off @White_Rabbit's post a few minutes ago, my #securityHygiene toot for the day:
Be careful about what you post on social media and keep in mind what you've posted when sites ask you those "password recovery questions" like "What is your favorite movie?" and "What was the make and model of your first car?"
You start reminiscing about how you miss your childhood dog named "Candy," and an attacker may have access to change your password under those forgot password pages.
This is why I have substituted various recovery questions/answers to something completely off-topic:
"What was the name of your first pet" becomes "Were/Why/Who was *******/in ******/at ******."
That way, even if I reminisce or talk about my favorite movies, my comments can't be mined for answers.
@katharsys2012 @White_Rabbit @opie @tyghebright @amarand - but with a good password manager, you don't even need to answer a password recovery question, so just randomly smashing the keyboard would work.
there are sites that force you to answer security questions when you create your account, not optional...can't remember the last one that did that to me, but it's def happened
@opie @katharsys2012 @White_Rabbit @tyghebright @amarand - hence the randomly smashing keys.
