Just a few weeks ago, the murder of George Floyd sparked worldwide protests by and in alliance with the black community. Especially here in the US, this has immediately led to a parallel push for systemic change for domestic law enforcement. Simultaneously, this has revived media attention regarding the role of technology in perpetuating racial biases in policing—especially that of facial recognition technology.
Passwords suck.
They’re hard to remember, hackers exploit their weaknesses and fixes often bring their own problems. Dashlane, LastPass, 1Password and other password managers generate strong and unique passwords for every account you have, but the software is complex. Services from Google, Facebook and Apple allow you to use your passwords for their services at other sites, but you have to give them even more power over your life online. Two-factor authentication, which requires a second passcode sent by text message or retrieved from a special app each time you log in, boosts security dramatically but can still be defeated.
