Socratica Friends, we hear you. You want more detail. We're building up a cybersecurity course, and these videos will be the intros to various subjects. Expect learning pages and exercises to extend your knowledge. The course is still growing, but you can sign up for free here: www.socratica.com/courses/cybersecurity
I agree, password itself is not enough. We need 2FA or even MFA and never reuse your passwords. The bad news is some old website are storing passwords in plaintext and people who are not tech savvy still fell victim to phishing attack.
i would disagree with the frequent password change recommendation unless it's paired with a password manager. let's say you modify your password quarterly. you need to create 4 12-character random passwords annually. multiply by the number of accounts you have. inevitably, you'll end up resorting to either a.) using the same password or variations of the same password b.) creating a pattern or mnemomic c.) writing it down.
totally agree. correct me if I am wrong but if someone is trying bruteforce to guess my password, it is absolutely useless to change pwd: it is not that, when you change your password, they have to start over with the search.
I like to take a word out of cryptography's book and build my self passwords using a 12 word long sentence I can remember and taking character from each word in a pre defined algorithm unique to my accounts mix and match with numbers symbols and upper cases and I never forget my 32 character long passwords. On the note of password managers: I can't trust any after one of the big ones got hacked to oblivion recently and leaked all people's passwords. My good old trusty paper notebook with my pen is enough to manage them for me.
If just something gets hacked suddenly *everything* is untrustworthy? That's so low-IQ. *If* you trust strong file encryption, *then* you can trust an app that does that locally. And trusting that, you can sync it.
I forgot to mention, I live in a poor South American country with my parents, I'm autist so It's hard for me to get a job that doesn't involve social skills without any degree, my mom is the only person able to work in our family so It's been tough to pay for more than internet subscription. I'm trying to get her to sign up for a VPN so she can get higher value of her existing video streaming subscription but money ain't growing on trees. I'm currently looking for a internship in IT computer science as I do my CS degree atm. I got my college paid for free by the state due to having good scores(for people with disabilities) on the national test to entry on college at the end of each year. Not everyone has good Spawn RNG to be born in the first world or in the third world to a rich/middle class family. Cheers from Brazil.@@johanponken
I do not agree with your statement about complexity.. Better to have a long password that is easy to remember, then a complex one that is hard. xkcd did a 'password strength' comic on this, and natural language passwords is a good example of a better solution of this.
Definitely get a password manager. Be sure it’ll be available on all your devices or you’ll wind up writing them on a list to use when on vacation - not good.
A very serious comment: You get it wrong! AND it hurts ordinary people. This is advise for nerds, NOT for normies. IT'S A MATTER OF PRIORITIES: You should start with 1) unique 2) no birthdays 3) length. DO NOT introduce strange characters until a later stage. Ask yourself/ves: what do you want to accomplice? Maybe you should do a vid on how nerds can help their grandma get safe?

00:48 "plub blublubu!" HAHAHAHAHA XD
More videos like this, please!
We're starting this series of microlessons on cybersecurity, and so far 10 are in the works!
Simple but essential video advice. I really need to get with it!
You guys should continue the python course and maybe add data structure and algorithm videos or maybe teaching a web framework like flask or fast api

Yes now it takes me 5 min to type my password in, 17 times b4 I get it right

▲ THIS!
I keep forgeting my 12-character password
Longer = harder
I know exactly what you mean... ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I always wanted to say this 😛 First comment 🥳🥳
Ok
YAYYYY SOCRATICA FRIEND!! 💜🦉
12 characters is not enough, 15 or more is better. I cannot tell you how I know this.
👏🏻👏🏻

Or better yet a password valut with each password being 30+ strings of complete random characters
@@emilyscloset2648 What dou you want to accomplish with that comment…
If only nobody attempt to exploit others, we don't even need complicate passwords and could enjoy our lives. Bad people.
I loved it when you say “blwwbwbwb” it was so funny
That was our favourite part 💜🦉
