password managers Question: Signing up with Google vs E-Mail and Password 🔐
7 hours ago, UserName_LTT said:So, for "low value stuff like forum accounts", I could just use the classic e-mail and password (with 2FA on each) for the privacy aspect; but, for 'high value stuff' like the social media accounts for a business, I should use Google (with 2FA on Gmail) because they have better protection against modern attacks. Right?
I basically just want to be told what to do... As you can't probably tell from my user name, I'm not very good at making decisions that I know I'll likely never change. (;⚆ ︿ ⚆)
Also, where can I learn more about this "passwordless login" stuff? Is there a Techquickie on Yubikey and/or FIDO?
For low value accounts I would say use whatever is easiest for you. For high value accounts, yeah delegated auth (such as Google) does have advantages. I generally default to having 2fa on both the Google account and the social media account/etc, which would protect your social media account if you did get phished out of your Google account, although it is definitely a reasonable amount of extra friction so it has to be a judgement whether it's worth it.
In terms of resources on passwordless login, there is a techquickie, although I haven't watched it so can't vouch for it's completeness/accuracy:
