 Topics Include:

 Password Managers: Protect your personal privacy and your cloud and
web accounts by using unique credentials for every service.

 A password manager, such as KeePassXC or Bitwarden, enables use of
different credentials everywhere.  It simplifies using long, strong,
random strings for unique credentials.  Build account separation by
using unique credentials (username, password, email address, security
questions and answers, birth date, shoe size, etc.) for every site.

 The talk covers practices that can effectively keep your online
accounts separate from each other.  The separation prevents a security
breach at one company from exposing your other accounts.

 Prevent use of stolen credentials to compromise other accounts.

 Attendees will learn about:


        unique credentials to build account separation for every
service
        important password manager features
        multi-factor authentication
        subaddressing for unique email addresses
        command line tools for random strings and dates
        hints for speaking random strings
        using a password manager for secure data escrow
