    Microsoft Wants to Kill Passwords, Starting with Windows 10

    No, you basically can't. Any "references" you would be posting would be wrong. "Your guy" is the author of that first link you referenced. Again, there's no such thing as one over the other here; length and complexity are to be paired if your goal is to have a more secure passphrase. Using one...

    Microsoft Wants to Kill Passwords, Starting with Windows 10

    Yes, let me clarify; It's MORE prevalent now than it was in the past because more bad actors are now turning their attention to taking advantage of the now known ways of subverting the s7 protocol, but not as much REPORTING on it has been done, probably because no one likes to admit to being...

    Microsoft Wants to Kill Passwords, Starting with Windows 10

    That's NOT what your own guy says in the article; it's BOTH, THAT's what security professionals like Dr. Matthew Green from Johns Hopkins says, Bruce, Schneier says, Steve Gibson says, etc. Length is NOT more important, Length PAIRED with complexity is what makes it MORE secure, NOT length...

    Microsoft Wants to Kill Passwords, Starting with Windows 10

    Wait, what?? ......No dear, this works even against massive online cracking arrays... Straight from your own link: "I can't stress enough the importance of having length paired with complexity." --Which is what I said.

    Microsoft Wants to Kill Passwords, Starting with Windows 10

    It's actually both. password strength is provided by length and complexity, if you define complexity as randomness. The more random, and the more characters used, (length) the more secure the password is. (Of course, if that password isn't STORED properly, it's a moot point.

    Microsoft Wants to Kill Passwords, Starting with Windows 10

    OMG :shifty: SMS has been depricated for use as a form of 2FA for a reason. Also, it's not clear in the article that this is for local accounts, only Microsoft Accounts, which to me is bad for those who are trying to log on while on public networks that have portal pages where you land first. I...

    The Idaho National Laboratory Protects the U.S. Infrastructure from Cyber Attacks

    Two points here. One: Your ISP (if they care) can discover you are running a VPN, which may be considered suspicious. Two: How well do you trust your VPN provider, because you are trusting them with a lot. Also, if the government wants to spy on you they can simply monitor VPN exit points. All...

    VPN Blocking: How to Circumvent?

    I'm not aware of any ability that circumvents an ISP's blocking of VPN services. Unfortunately you are at the mercy of your ISP. Unless you can change to one that doesn't block vpn services, I don't think there's anything you can do. You would be risking being terminated from your ISP if you...

    Apple Should have Taken on Microsoft's Xbox and Sony's Playstation with Apple TV

    So, would you agree then, that a new iMac these days with a single AMD GPU with 4GB of memory is sufficient to play some pc games via Bootcamp? It sounds like you are saying a multiple GPU setup these days in a PC (2 or 3) aren't worth paying the money for the extra GPU's... Or am I missing your...

    IBM and VISA Want Automatic Payments for Usage and Potential Repairs

    No IoT devices in my house ever. I don't need to be notified that I need milk, or to change a lightbulb. If you do use IoT devices, put them on their own separate network, using the Ubiquity Edge Router, and call it a day. https://www.ubnt.com/edgemax/edgerouter/

    NY Attorney General Wants Public To Report Broadband Speeds

    What Schneiderman (and subsequently his test) don't understand is that the connection you pay for as a customer only covers your connection speed from your device (controlling for wifi and multiple devices, etc) to your ISP's network. Doing a test to servers OUTSIDE of their network they aren't...

    If it's going to auto update itself then there's a back way in for them to do the update, and god knows what else, so that's a big NO from me. Have you tried a Buffalo router with Tomato or DD-WRT on it?
