For anyone who's ever had a #Twitter account out there, just got notified that they've had a #breach. Watch for increase of spam/phishing and change passwords if your account is still active or if you re-use that password anywhere.
Thanks #Dashlane for the heads up.
#Dashlane are warning users of a phishing campaign directed against them. They suggest you "ensure an email is authentic
by verifying that the sender's address ends in @dashlane.com" - email addresses are easily spoofed - I'd suggest not clicking any unexpected links in an email and instead log in to your account and check for messages there.
I am concerned that I just received notification from my password security app (#Dashlane) that some of my personal information (name, email address, postal address, phone number) has been found on the #DarkWeb as a result of a #DataBreach at #ebay that occurred about a month ago.
I have just reviewed all emails I have received from ebay since February 1st - no mention of a data breach. WTF?

If you show people the fun in using alternatives to #BigTech then I have a feeling they'll be more apt to switch.
It's how I switched the handful of friends and family who stay in contact with me to #Signal and how I'm slowly motivating myself to move the rest of my stuff to #Protonmail as well as #jottacloud and eventually an alternate Android OS.
I think going from #Dashlane to @bitwarden will be the final push in a month or two.
Fucking hell. Nightmare never ends. #LastPass #Hack #CyberSecurity
If you're using LastPass - it's time to migrate (now). #BitWarden #Dashlane #1Password or even #ProtonPass are all viable alternatives, that (so far) have ZERO incidents. Great for cloud-based alternatives. If you want to keep your password manager local, #KeePass or #KeepassX are fantastic as well.

Once again, I’m finishing this Sunday feature from Dulles Airport. Tonight’s destination is London, courtesy of a press trip Uber is hosting for the Go-Get Zero event it’s staging there to talk about its vehicle-electrification ambitions. (My editors at PCMag approved this arrangement, and I’ll note the comped-travel part of it in the copy I file.)
This was a slow week for me in terms of published stories, but Patreon readers got one more post by me: a review of disinformation researcher Renée DiResta’s book Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies Into Reality. It’s well worth reading if you, too, had some side-eye reactions to the moment in the vice-presidential debate when Republican candidate Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) answered a question from Democratic candidate Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) about whether Trump lost the 2020 election by pivoting to a complaint about Facebook content moderation.
10/2/2024: Not Great: Even Password Manager Subscribers Reuse Passwords, PCMag
Usually, Dashlane’s PR folks not only offer advance access to their studies on an embargoed basis but remind me of that multiple times. For whatever reason, that didn’t happen with this particularly interesting study, which I appreciated because it relieved me of any time pressure to have a writeup ready to go before the company posted the study. Instead, I could spend several hours in a back-and-forth e-mail conversation with some Dashlane publicists to make sure that I understood how they did this research. And to ask what thoughts they had after seeing so many users of their own service fail to heed one of its most basic bits of security advice.
(Okay, I also probably would have filed this faster if I hadn’t spent the day on a telecom spectrum-policy conference that occupied most of my attention.)

Dear, #lastPass #1Password #Dashlane ,
With the #Verizon outage today and a file mishap. I could have used having my 2FA backup codes on hand today.
Cause text msg 2FA is not working.
It would be great to store backup codes in your apps.
I found the files, all good.
If you use an online cloud-based password manager (E.G., #LastPass, #1Password, #Bitwarden, #Dashlane, etc.) how concerned are you about supply chain attacks?
Tuesday, I’ll flee D.C.’s 90-something temperatures for the 100-something temperatures of Las Vegas–but as I’ve realized over previous trips to that desert city for the Black Hat information-security conference, it really is a dry heat.
In addition to the posts below, my Patreon readers got a recap of a very long day of travel on Thursday of the previous week that saw me returning home about 21 hours after I’d stepped off of the front porch that morning.
7/30/2024: These Are the Services Seeing the Biggest Uptick in Passkey Adoption, PCMag
What I thought would be an easy writeup of an embargoed copy of a Dashlane study about passkey adoption among users of that password manager wound up enlightening me about Facebook’s support of that authentication standard. And once again, I found Facebook’s documentation out of date and incorrect.
7/31/2024: Here’s How Microsoft Wants to Shield You From Abusive AI–With Help From Congress, PCMag
I had ambitions of attending this downtown-D.C. event Tuesday afternoon featuring Microsoft’s vice chair and president Brad Smith, but my schedule ran away from me and I watched the proceedings online. And then I didn’t finish writing this piece until Wednesday morning, although that at least let me nod to news that day of the impending introduction of a new bill targeting AI impersonations of people.
8/2/2024: Circuit Court Throws a Stop Sign in Front of FCC’s Net-Neutrality Rules, PCMag
Reading this unanimous opinion from three judges–one named by Clinton, another a Biden appointee–that the Federal Communications Commission didn’t have the authority to put broadband providers into one of two possible regulatory buckets left me feeling like I’d been taking crazy pills over the last 20 years of the net-neutrality debate, during which the FCC has repeatedly done just that.
8/3/2024: Justice Department Sues TikTok, Alleging Massive Child-Privacy Violations, PCMag
I woke up Saturday thinking that somebody at PCMag was already covering the DOJ lawsuit against TikTok, but nobody had grabbed that story. So I set aside part of that morning to read the DOJ’s complaint, get a comment out of a TikTok publicist and write this post summarizing the department’s allegations.

#Dashlane's new report reveals a 400% increase in #passkey authentications.

@dhry #1password ain't free. #Keeper ain't free. #Dashlane ain't free. Fuck Lastpass - more hacks than I've had hot dinners. DAMN it.
The rollback of features on existing accounts by #dashlane is a study in pushing users to other platforms. For over a year, the updates have been a sequence of 'soon-you-will-have-less-functionality-than-before' notifications.
I assume the user base is so small that they have to now squeeze early-adopters for rent money. Either way, I am curious to see when they switch to the ransomware model for users to read their own passwords.
#KeePass 2.57 has been released (#SafePassword / #SecurePassword / #Strongbox / #SafeDepositBox / #1Password / #LastPass / #Dashlane / #Enpass) https://keepass.info/
Google's passkeys, introduced in 2022, have become a popular and secure alternative to traditional passwords, being used over 1 billion times across 400 million-plus Google accounts. These passkeys, which rely on fingerprints, face scans, or PINs for authentication, are faster and more resistant to phishing than passwords. Google plans to integrate passkeys into its Advanced Protection Program, enhancing security for high-risk users. Additionally, third-party password managers like Dashlane and 1Password can now support passkeys, further expanding their use. The technology is supported by major companies like eBay, Uber, PayPal, and Amazon, indicating a shift towards passkey-based authentication as a more secure and efficient method.
