It would not be nearly as good. If the password gets out it doesn't matter how strong it is. The password and email combination would be tried on various sites and all of those would be compromised.
Not if your Apple account has 2FA. Still "best practice" to not reuse passwords for important things, but you're probably fine either way.
Yeah it is. I don't care. This isn't the first time my password's leaked, nor will it be the last, and I'm prepared for it.
Many have, including a federated and open-source system called Discourse that's pretty nice. I've made my own too, just a newsfeed thing where people forward messages amongst each other. There are ways to make money non-invasively, only it's less profitable. And ofc way fewer people use the other social networks.
Yeah they are malicious. The Yahoo! toolbar and their other browser hijack software used to come bundled with everything. It was devious. I used to wipe that off my grandpa's PC every time I visited.
Agreed but my Apple account is one of the few that have 2FA. My bank account doesn't, my credit card accounts don't, none of my online bill pay accounts have it, only one of my email accounts has it, some of my online gaming accounts have it, none of my social media accounts have it, and I'm sure if I thought about it I have lots more without 2FA. Most of my online accounts don't offer 2FA. I bet for most people their Apple account is the only one with 2FA. Not because they want it but rather Apple mandates it.
Surprised about the banking. I'd never use a bank that doesn't have 2FA. Not only is that unsafe, but it's a sign that they're incompetent. I know Chase does. Steam has good 2FA. Most social media and other gaming sites don't, but whatever. Gmail has optional 2FA, but I don't bother with it unless it's the recovery or 2FA email for something important. They have good enough threat detection anyway.
I'm not sure why my bank doesn't have 2FA. They have a nice app that works with FaceID and will text or call me about unusual activity but no 2FA. Maybe it's something I should bring up to them.
I dont feel bad for Zuckerberg for a second over the autobahn speed dumpster fire car crash that is Facebook that none of us can look away from.
Karma is so frigging beautiful. And to think, the demise of Zuck/FB is only in its earliest phase. Popcorn.gif
Good luck with that new privacy-centric platform pitch too, credible Lizardman!
He'll be lucky to go the way of Tom; irrelevant. In more likelihood, jail time and litigation issues / scandals piling up until his old age. He certainly will not have gotten the last laugh, proverbially speaking.
I think in the end, Tom wasn't just everyone's friend on MySpace, he was indirectly everyone's friend IRL.
The platform caving on itself was a great 'avante-garde' gift to humanity; Nobel Peace Prize worthy imo!
And while I engage in debate often in polarizing pol threads, I think we *all* can rally behind the fact both sides are equally furious (for different reasons) at Facebook... Maybe thats the sort of common ground unity we need?
So .... I guess we can deduce you're not a big Facebook fan?
Meh.... there's a whole lot to dislike about that web site, but I still think the whole thing was based on a worthy premise..
Someone had to make this a race issue LMAO... It's those white computers keeping the space gray computers down LMAO
Because bank accounts are records of our transactions with the bank. They are a party to all those transactions, and our bank accounts cannot be secret as far as the bank is concerned. When you deposit money into a bank account, you are giving the bank money to loan out. It needs to know who gave it money, how much, and when. The bank is also required, by law, to keep this information.
