Recent activity involving unsolicited Instagram password reset notifications highlights how account takeover attempts often exploit user behavior rather than technical weaknesses.

Even amid reports of exposed account datasets, basic safeguards - such as monitoring recovery options and login alerts - remain effective risk-reduction measures.

What controls do you recommend users prioritize on consumer platforms?

🐾🚪 "Revolutionary" for furries? Because we all know what the world needed is another reason to forget passwords at a convention where everyone is already trying to forget their dignity. 🙈✨ Apparently, it's not just tails and ears that get tangled, but logins too! 😂🔑

We published this earlier in the year, but it’s aging well.
1Password and Bitwarden remain the two names most teams and individuals debate when it comes to credential security.
This piece breaks down where they differ on hosting, trust models, and enterprise controls — not just features.
Still very relevant for 2025 decisions.

I fucking hate it, every time I register somewhere 😑

Started with 128 characters with all the weird stuff in it.
In the end the upper limit was at 50 characters.

I actually don't like, that there are upper limits at all.
But if there are, TELL ME WHAT IT IS, for crying out loud 🤬

Screenshot of a registration forms password field.
Below the input field an error message says the choosen password is too long.

On the right side an information overlay is seen, stating only which characters are required, and the minimum lenght being six characters.
No information about maximum length.

On the bottom the browsers developer tools are open, having the html input field highlighted. There also is no hint to what the upper limit actually is.

Password Security - MD5 vs Argon2

🔐 STOP USING MD5! This password security comparison will shock you. Junior developers still use MD5 (cracked in seconds!) while senior devs use Argon2ID - the strongest password hashing algorithm. See the difference and learn why password security matters. Your users' data depends on this!

New research from Italian universities examines how much password security changes when public social data is factored into evaluation.
Using SODA ADVANCE, the team reconstructed volunteer profiles and tested how several LLMs generated and scored passwords based on varying amounts of personal context.

The work highlights the gap between syntactic complexity and real-world guessability - especially when personal data is publicly discoverable.

Thoughts on integrating personal-context analysis into future password tools?

You can't use "Beef Stew" as a password as it's not Stroganoff 😟🤷‍♂️

#CyberSecurity #InfoSec #PasswordSecurity

A red plate holds a serving of Beef Stroganoff with a fork resting beside it. The plate is mostly filled with a dark brown gravy, and what appears to be pieces of beef within the sauce. 

A portion of green peas occupies about a third of the plate, clustered together in the lower left corner. 

To the right of the peas is a dollop of mashed potatoes. The plate sits on a patterned tablecloth with a beige and dark brown lattice design.

As much as I like #Costco for various reasons, I'm gonna say they deserve a special wing in the bad password practices hall of fame for REDUCING their maximum password length to 16 (from what I don't remember, but it was at least 20), and also making it impossible to enter more than 16 characters of a password in their mobile app without prompting people who had longer passwords to change them 🤦
