   Password Managers are good but what they should add in these apps is the ability to sync your passwords on multiple devices. In the past I used Keeper (free version) but I ran in a problem when Apple f'ed up my device with an update because they just released the Iphone 14 and I couldn't get in my device because my password wasn't working and I didn't know my apple id password because it was in the password manager .Just use chrome password manager as it syncs your password as long as you are connected in a google account .

   In regards to Myth #6: There are 2 types of people that are good with computers:
   Type 1: They're "good" with computers and don't need no antivirus because their power level is over 9000!
   Type 2: They're actually good with computers, they don't flaunt it, and they understand that having an antivirus is another layer of defense that can be incredibly helpful.

   Great video. Didn't really learn anything, but I know many people, including in the IT department at work who could use this knowledge. I especially liked when you said the length of a password is more important than complexity. I was very angry at my bank a few years ago when they wouldn't let me use my password because it was too long. It was 10 words long, not 10 characters, 10 words. I was also annoyed that I was not allowed to use the space bar in my password. Password rules are often preventing good passwords.

   One other tip I would definitely add to computer security. Only be admin when you have to be. I have a separate admin account that I have to promote myself with with a password whenever I am making any meaningful changes to my home PC. It is amazing how many issues get blocked when I realize that no, I don't want to promote myself to admin for that.

    Even a full format might not be sufficient, there are ways to recover the files, that's when the "shred" utility is used to writer random data, multiple times, making the files truly unrecoverable.

    Cybersecurity doesn't exist it's modern myth. Why is that you ask? Well simply because more and more advanced viruses are appearing. There are couple of them (thou rare) that aren't user error and they are not clicked on or installed. They reside in bios/ram so every time your turn your device on it is infected and as far as I have seen so far there is nothing to prevent them. Also additional and huge problem that no one addresses are cookies on website/s that you can't even stop irregardles of you clicking on reject all or individually clicking off on all of them. They gather bunch of information that they shouldn't in the first place and then that data is being sold off.

    Myth #11: all 2FA are secure. SMS 2FA is incredibly easy for a hacker to bypass by emulating your phone number, intercepting the plain text code.

    I've started keeping a block of text from my favorite books saved as a .txt file. When I need a password I copy an entire sentence from it and keep a physical note of which sentence I used.
    I started doing this after I downloaded a paper craft pattern for a model from the game Wing Commander. The pattern came with a .cob file that I didn't recognize. I opened it in notepad and I saw my . json file with all my passwords. I stayed up all night changing passwords using the method I mentioned above.

    Remember that a VPN is not a cyber security tool, it just changes your endpoint and masks your IP. It does nothing to stop hacking.

    I think each password myths each has their blindspots, and telling "best practices" probably prevents people from taking things at face value.

    Changing your password every now and then with a strong password, or doing so using password managers is recommended. Especially your master passwords for accessing your password managers. Just don't do it too often where you see it as a chore.

    And having a strong password does reduce the chance of your password getting figured out by actual guessing, but also guessing password hashes, which password length and complexity can essentially make the hackers give up kek

    A great password is meaningless if the hacker has added a keylogger in your system.

    For myth #5 The site passwordbits only uses 8 special characters. If you used all of the available ones on a keyboard (an additional 32 characters on a qwerty keyboard), then an 11 character password would be about 3.4x stronger than a 15 character all lowercase one.

    Generally speaking though longer passwords are better.

    The xkcd comic is missing the point since it's comparing true randomness to a common pattern. As mentioned in the video, the problem with that is that people don't use true randomness to pick passwords. They would pick four words they think are random and then they just have another easy to crack password since it follows a simple set of rules for a computer to try. In many cases it would take less time to crack four chosen words than a single random word with all of the common substitutions.

    Myth :

    Linux and mac are more secure than windows 11.

    When I click unsubscribe in every commercial email – I won't receive any email thence.

    Keep booting your PC frequently to prevent malware / virus from spreading.

    Windows defender is useless software.

    Myth from my granny : Type password slowly else a hacker might see it.

    Myth from my Son : Since Alexa and android keep listening to you, don't speak out your password while you are typing it as they might send you an add related to your password ???
