"change your password wherever you use it in combination with your email address" might be literally impossible tbh
I buy a lot of stuff online, I don't remember every site I've ever used
look into 1 password or similar so that you can have unique secure passwords for each account
you can change them over time
I can't even identify the accounts I have, though. There are way too many. That's the main issue.
password management would help going forward. honestly the easiest thing to do? change my CC number. that's still a huge pain in the ass though for all the stuff I have on auto pay.
modern life is hard.
Just using it going forward and protecting your email and bank accounts is a huge deal and would be good for peace of mind!
1) if i hand over my life to 1password, what are the consequences if the application ever goes belly up?
2) suppose i use 1password to generate and store strong passwords for everything (from forums to shopping websites to banks and credit cards), and then i use 2FA on both of my gmail accounts. is there anything else i should/need to do?
3) should my gmail accounts have strong, independent passwords like my 1password vault or should i just generate and store their passwords in 1pass also?
1) not a problem, just keep their application set up on your computer and I think you should be good as long as you remember the codes to unlock it
2) nope, 2FA is more than enough in most cases. You need a significant MITM attack to break 2FA
3) you can store it in 1password, if that makes you feel better, but 2FA sort of breaks the ability to hack a service
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me

Also if you change your CC number on say netflix or something it auto updates so they've still got your info.
Like my wife's card got compromised so they sent her a new one and when we logged into Netflix and a few other sources the new cards 4 digits were already in there. Same with ATT.
I called the bank, and it's not a bug, it's a feature for ease on the customer!
I have literally never had this happen, huh
I don't know if it was a visa thing or a wells fargo thing but it definitely happened to us
are YOU on the beer list?

yeah but every time you log in somewhere it'll pop up all eager like HEY WANT ME TO SAVE THIS SHIT
and then you can be like oh yeah this is a shit password, let's update it to some gibberish real quick and save it to the vault

I hope geth added me to the super secret approved list because I've got a great chat already drafted.
I know for a fact I didn't change over half of the passwords I needed to when heartbleed happened and I didn't get haxored so I mean how serious is this?
It's as serious as you'd like to take it. It's unlikely that the data from one particular user (you) on one particular site was leaked. As with any leak, only a fraction of user data was compromised. It's really a matter of how responsible your internet habits are, and how much risk is acceptable to you.
If you use a unique username and password everywhere, you may be more inclined to just throw away the account. If you use the same username and password everywhere, and that data was leaked, your entire internet presence is compromised.
Yeah this is the last straw I am going full password manager everywhere I'm not using it already.
How is that better?
Also how does that work?
1) you have a different, strong, password for every single site / account /whatever. So someone using this exploit to get your reddit password doesn't get them into anything else (o nos not mah reddits)
2) you have a list of all your accounts so you know what to go change if need be

I mean I don't keep it completely separated but I do have like six passwords in rotation.
I just bought an arduino kit and a Bluetooth Low Energy Module
Paid for Saturday delivery
I'm either going to make a bed remote or be the star of Watchdogs 3
Did it include opto isolated IO? That's what need for making a programmatically controlled connection from one wire to another. You'll also want a voltmeter to determine signal polarity.
@Ludious this kit only comes with one 5v relay, which is only enough to replicate a single button and a relay isn't quite what you want. It's a bit slow and has a physical component not meant for this type of usage. You'll want a bank of 5 opto-isolators to translate the arduino's output voltages into wire connections or disconnections in order to interface with your bed.
That might be overkill, since all you need to bridge is some signal wires, but this is the class of product you will need. It also has screw terminals so no soldering.
ok cool but then why does it come with an IR remote with a bunch of buttons?
Those are inputs to the arduino. Like, you click a button on the remote and the arduino, in the software you write, can see that button press. You then need to write some code that reacts to the button press by changing an output or doing a thing, anything. In your case you want to bridge the wires corresponding to one of the 4 bed buttons. You'd do that by connecting two bed wires to an opto, connecting the opto to an arduino digital output, then setting an arduino digital output high to effectively "hotwire" the bed. Then when the button on the remote is released, your code sets the output back low, to disconnect the wires.
ah ok. I thought I could just connect the wires to the breadbox and the breadbox to the arduino and then use one of the BLE apps on the appstore to make buttons
If the bed and arduino shared a power supply, and the bed's signals were 5 volts, maybe. But as is, you'll need a relay or opto for each "button" you want to press. Once you have optos or relays hooked to your arduino digital outs, and the bed wires hooked to the optos, then you have a viable hardware setup electrically. From there you might be able to cobble the thing together with arduino apps, I am not sure though. I've never used one.
What do you think the chances are I could crack open the original bed remote, pull out the circuit board in it and connect it between the arduino and bed in place of an opto
Close to zero. The original bed remote has momentary switches inside, basically fancy hot wiring, nothing that would help you interface two incompatible electrical systems like an opto or relay would.
If you describe the way the hotwiring works, how many wires there are, what colors, which wire you press to which to make each thing happen, etc, I can draw you a diagram.
5 wires. Green is a part of every combo.
Green Brown: Feet Go Down
Green Yellow: Feet go up
Green Red: Head goes up
Green Black: Head goes down
There's a head up/down button
a feet up/down button
and a both at the same time up/down button
important thing to remember about 1password: you aren't trusting that company to store all your shit securely on their servers. The program encrypts your data and keeps it on your computer. It has built in integration with DropBox if you want to then use DropBox to be able to access these encrypted files from multiple computers or devices.
Yeah this is the last straw I am going full password manager everywhere I'm not using it already.

Alex winter looks like terminator 2 cop only...a little melted
maybe i'm streaming terrible dj right now if i am its here
Hook a brotha up
Just make sure there are no pencils around and go for it.

No no it's really good

To be fair, so does the actual t2 cop.
