monkeys beware, onelogin has been compromised May 31, 2017 Security Incident (UPDATED June 1, 2017) - OneLogin storing logins in the cloud is a idea
Personally, I utilize the highest of high tech methods, known to mankind..... Post-It notes! Honestly, imho, storing ANYTHING on the cloud, that you give a sh*t about, is just foolish!
Dumb question from the resident computer dinosaur. So does that mean that any website that you visit on a regular basis, if you opt to let them save your password, you just might be sending that password to the cloud?
I don't store anything except a few pictures on anybody's cloud. That's just ape5h1t stupid when storage is so cheap. I have my own internal cloud in the form of a NAS that has built in redundancy. You can find 2TB ReadyNas systems with hard drives on eBay for just over $100. Reformat, hook up to your router, follow some easy instructions and you are set. If possible make sure the model you buy is from one of their lines designed for business purposes - those can be upgraded to the latest OS that includes antivirus, advanced security features, and the ability to manage protocols like the version of SMB in use.
I keep all my MANY Logins & Passwords, in an encrypted file on my Computers, as well as my iPhone, iPad Retina, and iTouch.... The PassPhrase for that Encrypted File is Kept in my HEAD, where NONE can get to it.... The Encryption is First Class 4096Bit, a dn All the above locations are multiply Backed Up in other places, but NOTHING, and NOWHERE, outside my own Network... Many of those Passwords, that I use daily are in my HEAD, but I still have to one the File a couple of times a day, for less used
Exactly - I recently upgraded the version on my NAS so I could turn off SMBv1. SMBv2 and SMBv3 do not have those vulnerabilities. Bear in mind, though that wcry only affects Windows SMBv1, so running SMBv1 on your NAS won't expose you to it unless it runs on Windows. I shut SMBv1 off on mine just as a reminder for new Windows systems to shut it off there as well.
SMBv1 in and of itself has security issues regardless of operating system. For now the hackers are mostly interested in Windows because that's what most computers run. iOS is becoming increasingly exploited. For now Linux is mostly safe, but that's not going to last forever, too many server based applications are Linux based. It's interesting to note that my NAS operating system is Linux based and the version I upgraded to has it's own antivirus with definitions updated almost daily.
