Passwords

I’ve just published another Productivity Show.  This time it’s with David Freer of Symantec, Norton Internet Security and all that.  I’m going to give Norton another go, and see if it really is less bloated, runs faster, and does virus checks quicker.

Our talk, set me thinking about my passwords.  The passwords I have are fairly robust, it’s just that with so many websites, I use so few passwords, so one password may unlock several of my website accesses.  My greatest fear, is human access to servers containing my passwords, and one known password could lead to several websites I use.

I don’t know what to do.  If I move some of my mid level secure accesses up to a different password, then the same password will crack all my mid level secure accesses!!  Maybe mix the website word into my password.

Here’s a good article on levels of passwords.

And I think I’m going to try a some password software for looking after passwords. Looks like there are Firefox extensions, and open source software such Password Safe, just for this type of thing.

Hi Tony,

David F from Symantec here. Your brand new Norton 360 actually has a password manager built into it. Norton Identity Safe will essentially do everything you want. Have a look, its in a tool bar on your browser.

Hi Tony,

I am a huge fan of your blog. Actually, it’s me to tell David Freer about your posting, so that he would leave a message here. It’s about the time to for Norton to launch Norton 360 4.0 again.

I’ve been lying & cheating by him for two & half years, until I found out the truth in Feb. this year. He is seeing more than one woman at the same time. And now he just toally disappearred & changed all the phone numbers, except OZ cell, but not answering. He reacted like a "hit & run" irresponsible baby. can you believe someone like this, with no ethics & intergrity?

I've left a message at TPN & realised you are not running there anymore. But I understood you have huge fans on twitter and/or the net world. Please help me to let people know David Freer's true face.

Regards,

Jennifer Yin
