Cyber Security Technology Training Passwords & Password Managers What is a password manager? A password manager is an app that creates and keeps track of secure passwords. Is it safe to use a password manager? Yes. Computer security experts say the combination of security and convenience provided by using a password manager is safer than not using one. What makes a password secure? ● Length (at least 12 characters) ● Variety of letters + numbers + symbols ● Words that aren’t in a dictionary ● Not using the same password for more than one account What is a passphrase? A passphrase is a string of several words (real or made up) that’s more secure and easier to remember than a shorter password. A passphrase may include numbers, spaces or other characters. What is two-factor authentication (2FA) and why do I need to know? 2FA adds extra security by requiring an extra step when you log in. The extra step may be a code that’s texted to you, a PIN, a fingerprint, face recognition, or some other factor. Features to look for in a password manager ● Generates secure passwords ● Syncs between desktop and mobile devices ● Captures new usernames and passwords when you log in to a secure site ● Autofills saved passwords on desktop and mobile devices ● Automatically updates stored passwords when you change them ● Imports from and exports to other password managers Created by Michelle Quigley [email protected] / Updated March 2021 Cyber Security Technology Training Passwords & Password Managers Comparing popular and recommended password managers PASSWORD MANAGER PRICING KEY FEATURES Free for one user on one kind of PC Magazine’s best for Lastpass (lastpass.com) device, premium $36/year ease of use Free for up to 50 passwords on PC Magazine’s best for Dashlane (dashlane.com) one device, premium $60/year security-focused extras 1Password (1password.com) Starts at $2.99/month Wirecutter 2021 top pick Stores passwords on your Free for personal use, pay per device, PC Magazine top Myki (myki.com) user for businesses pick for free password managers Starts at $34.99/year, additional PC Magazine’s best for Keeper (keepersecurity.com) charges for secure messaging secure cross-platform and other features password management Free or $10/year for secure file PC Magazine’s best Bitwarden (bitwarden.com) storage and additional features, open-source password pay per user for businesses manager Free or up to $4.99/month for PC Magazine top pick for LogMeOnce personal use, more for free password manager (logmeonce.com) businesses + advanced features with lots of features Resources ● Test your passwords at howsecureismypassword.net (sponsored by DashLane) ● Check haveibeenpwned.com to see if any of your accounts have been compromised ● Consumer Reports: consumerreports.org/cro/password-managers.htm ● Consumer Reports: consumerreports.org/digital-security/tips-for-better-passwords ● PC Magazine: pcmag.com/picks/the-best-free-password-managers ● PC Magazine: pcmag.com/picks/the-best-password-managers ● New York Times: thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-password-managers Created by Michelle Quigley [email protected] / Updated March 2021.

An Architecture for Cryptography with Smart Cards and NFC Rings on Android
OpenKeychain: An Architecture for Cryptography with Smart Cards and NFC Rings on Android DOMINIK SCHÜRMANN, TU Braunschweig, Germany SERGEJ DECHAND, University of Bonn, Germany LARS WOLF, TU Braunschweig, Germany While many Android apps provide end-to-end encryption, the cryptographic keys are still stored on the device itself and can thus be stolen by exploiting vulnerabilities. External cryptographic hardware solves this issue, but is currently only used for two-factor authentication and not for communication encryption. In this paper, we design, implement, and evaluate an architecture for NFC-based cryptography on Android. Our high-level API provides cryptographic operations without requiring knowledge of public-key cryptography. By developing OpenKeychain, we were able to roll out this architecture for more than 100,000 users. It provides encryption for emails, messaging, and a password manager. We provide a threat model, NFC performance measurements, and discuss their impact on our architecture design. As an alternative form factor to smart cards, we created the prototype of an NFC signet ring. To evaluate the UI components and form factors, a lab study with 40 participants at a large company has been conducted. We measured the time required by the participants to set up the system and reply to encrypted emails. These measurements and a subsequent interview indicate that our NFC-based solutions are more user friendly in comparison to traditional password-protected keys. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → Usability in security and privacy; Key management; Hardware-based security protocols; • Human-centered computing → Mobile devices; Additional Key Words and Phrases: NFC, near-field communication, smart card, ring ACM Reference Format: Dominik Schürmann, Sergej Dechand, and Lars Wolf.

For more information see the License page. Introduction Today you need to remember many passwords. You need a password for the Windows network logon, your e-mail account, your website's FTP password, online passwords (like website member account), etc. etc. etc. The list is endless. Also, you should use different passwords for each account. Because if you use only one password everywhere and someone gets this password you have a problem... A serious problem. He would have access to your e-mail account, website, etc. Unimaginable. But who can remember all those passwords? Nobody, but KeePass can. KeePass is a free, open source, light-weight and easy-to-use password manager for Windows. The program stores your passwords in a highly encrypted database. This database consists of only one file, so it can be easily transferred from one computer to another. KeePass supports password groups, you can sort your passwords (for example into Windows, Internet, My Website, etc.). You can drag&drop passwords into other windows. The powerful auto-type feature will type user names and passwords for you into other windows. The program can export the database to various formats. It can also import data from various other formats (more than 20 different formats of other password managers, a generic CSV importer, ...). Of course, you can also print the password list or current view. Using the context menu of the password list you can quickly copy password or user name to the Windows clipboard.

Online Security and Privacy
Security & Privacy Guide Security and Privacy Guide When thinking about security and privacy settings you should consider: What do you want to protect? Who do you want to protect it from? Do you need to protect it? How bad are the consequences if you fail to protect it? How much trouble are you prepared to go to? These questions should be asked whilst considering what information you are accessing (which websites), how you are accessing the information, (what device you are using) and where you are accessing the information (at home, work, public place). Security & Privacy When looking at your Digital Security you are protecting your information against malicious attacks and malware. (Malware is software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer). Digital Privacy is different as you are deciding what information you are prepared to share with a website or App (or its third party partners) that you are already using. Permission to share this information can be implicit once you start using a website or App. Some websites or Apps will allow you to control how they use your information. Security Physical access: How secure is the device you are using? Is it kept in a locked building, at home, or do you use it when you are out and about? Does anyone else have access to the device? Do you require a passcode or password to unlock your device? Virtual access: Have you updated your IOS software (on an iPad) or installed the latest anti-virus software on your device? Most devices will prompt you when an update is available.

Five Best Practices for Password Management
Five Best Practices for Password Management Five Best Practices for Password Management While organizations continue to make security a priority, an important part of that effort involves educating and empowering general users about best practices. Consider some of these statistics from the Yubico 2019 State of Password and Security Authentication Security Behaviors Report: ● 2 out of 3 respondents share passwords with colleagues ● 51 percent of participants said they reuse passwords across personal and business accounts ● 57 percent said they did not change their passwords after experiencing a phishing attempt To bring change at an organization, security and IT teams must educate employees about best practices. In regards to password management, one of the easiest ways to encourage good password hygiene is to deploy a password management solution across your workplace. Here are some other best practices to adopt. 1. Leverage a password management solution. Throughout the day most people visit many different sites that require passwords. Memorizing tens of unique and sufficiently strong passwords (or passphrases) is virtually impossible. A password manager simplifies password use across different sites to keep users more secure. There are a number of solid password managers out there. Prioritize those that work cross-platform and offer services for individuals for free or at least, at a very low cost. Most password manager capabilities have also expanded over the years. 2. Choose a tool that you can easily deploy across your organization. Password managers need to be easy-to-use for every level of user–from beginner to advanced. When considering a large or distributed employee-base, the applications should be user intuitive and easy to deploy.

Ovum Market Radar: Password Management Tools
Ovum Market Radar: Password Management Tools Improving cybersecurity by eliminating weak, reused, and compromised passwords Publication Date: 17 Aug 2019 | Product code: INT005-000010KEEPER Richard Edwards Ovum Market Radar: Password Management Tools Summary Catalyst Cybersecurity often depends on the choices made by individuals. Most of these individuals are conscientious when it comes to preserving the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of corporate systems and customer data. However, if we consider the ways in which passwords and account credentials are used and managed, we can easily see weaknesses in our cybersecurity defenses. Password management tools have entered the mainstream, with more than 70 apps competing for user attention in the Google Play Store alone. There’s also a good selection of products targeting teams, businesses, and enterprises. However, these products need to adapt and evolve to win new business, protect against new cybersecurity threats, and support the move toward a “password-less” enterprise. Ovum view Key findings from an Ovum survey of IT decision-makers and enterprise employees reveals that password management practices are out of date, overly reliant on manual processes, and highly dependent on employees “doing the right thing”. If the alarm bell isn’t ringing, it should be. Cybersecurity training and awareness programs are useful, but to keep the business safe and secure, employees across all roles and at all levels require tools and applications to help alleviate the burden and risks associated with workplace passwords, credentials, logins, and access codes. Key messages ▪ Passwords are for more than just the web. Credentials and passcodes are required for desktop applications, mobile apps, IT infrastructure, physical access, and more.
