PSA: ‘What’s in your phone?’

I grabbed this screenshot from a security presentation by a computer science professor last week and used it in my presentation today. We live in a passworded world. :-\

» Note. The table comes from Hive Systems.

Today’s topic was “Bitcoin and ‘blockchains’: Motivations, design, & problems”; the outline is in the left margin above. A bit technical, building on a topic from last week, “hash,” but I think the participants got the gist of blockchains. It’s kind of cool that you can watch bitcoin transactions scroll in real time!

Passwords? Me? I don’t write ’em down. A written list quickly gets messy and out-of-date. I use a password manager that syncs my phone and computer. It’s a little awkward on my phone, but there are some financial things in particular that I will not do on my phone. Not a Luddite; just trying to be sensible with what I can control in an interconnected world.

Most of mine are 12+. I try to keep a book up for anyone who would need to cancel all those subscriptions, but I too have a password manager. I do have that written down in case I can't - sick, dying, etc.

@randystreat Clare & I each have a password manager and we know each other's master passwords.
