Quadhelion Engineering Corrected Mitigation Strategies:
- Never use an electronic password manager, use index cards and an art quality graphite pencil instead
- The loss, hack, crack, or malfunction of a MFA device can be absolutely devastating. Use with caution and sync three of them, 1 of them kept in a firesafe at all times.
- Never regurlary update all software and devices, choose your updates and choose your timing depending on your environment and posture instead
- Never be reliant upon an electronic home security system and lock devices (if they get that far, major damage has occured), use a Rottwieller, Great Dane, Mastiff, German Shepard, or Akita (never Pitbulls or Dobermans) alongside yourself with non-lethal weapons until lethal force is used upon you, instead
You asked and the Non-lethal (Less-Lethal) Weapons Industry has delivered. Pepper ball guns, Radically Improved Tasers, Electrical Stun Devices, Batons, Kubatons, Pellet Guns, Slings, and also you may not think unless you played, Paintball Guns, big nasty bruises at medium range if only wearing a T-Shirt.
I just happened upon this thread and security of all types is my specialty so I just wanted to say that nothing here is personal. I’m trying to be helpful giving folks “actual security” as in not “better than putting passwords in plain text files”. Lazy idiots will be lazy idiots with Keepass as well. I can’t tell you how many stories I’ve heard from colleagues that those people aforementioned just put the main Keepass password in a plain text file.
I upvoted the OP and your reply for bringing TM novelty and awareness.
I do see what you’re going for, but the mitigations you wrote can be found everywhere on the Internet for over a decade. It’s average commodity information combined with that fact that we are not more secure these days, but less secure in 2024 that ever.
In the case of password databases, this is de facto less secure than paper and pencil, which is not extreme by any measure and actually takes little effort.
