I haven't completely wrapped my head around the technology, but the gist is a) the passkey is linked to a website, and should prevent logging into a spoofed/counterfeit site and b) it's secure, encrypted and uses a public/private key exchange. After the passkey is established your facescan, fingerprint or passcode would be sufficient to log onto enabled sites. It's already available on some Microsoft, Apple and Google hardware (probably others). Note I'm not advocating for this--at least not until I totally understand it--but it's coming. Note also that there has been a new password hack; supposedly 10 billion passwords are available in cleartext for anybody that wants them (for a price, I presume). https://safety.google/authentication/passkey/ https://www.tomsguide.com/computing/online-security/nearly-10-billion-passwords-stolen-by-hackers-how-to-protect-yourself On 7/5/2024 9:20 AM, john niolon wrote: > shop content... my tool inventory and all my shop related stuff is on > my pc. > I looking into password manager software and am as dumb as a rock... > I need cheap... easy to use.... low maintenance... ability for a elder > to use > recommendations ?? > john -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It will store passwords, other sensitive info and passkeys (when and especially IF they ever gain traction beyond the walled gardens various companies have set up). I used LastPass for many years, but they were hacked and refused to come clean about it. Then they were hacked again and a copy of everyone?s password vaults were lost ? all the while the company again refused to come clean until independent security researchers outed them. That wouldn?t be so bad **IF** there had been robust encryption protecting them on the server side, but alas? People?s vaults have been decrypted ? starting with the high-value accounts like crypto-currency wallets, etc ? leading to massive losses for those folks and massive waste of time for the rest of us who had to go through our logins and change the passwords again. I currently have 485 logins and 100 secure notes in my vault, and shudder to think about having to go in and try to reset any substantial portion of them. Again. Either way, using any of the major password managers to generate long, strong passwords is way, way better than using passwords you can remember! ----------------------------------- All the best, Al Fuller From: Shop-talk On Behalf Of john niolon Sent: Friday, July 5, 2024 9:21 AM To: shop-talk Subject: [Shop-talk] password lmanager software shop content... my tool inventory and all my shop related stuff is on my pc.

Very little prep 2. Not toxic 3. Very easy for one man to install, easy to cut the tiles to shape 4. Improve the acoustics of the garage 5. Can do parts of the garage/shop at a time, do not need to clear out the entire shop for several days 6. Softer, easy on the knees 7. Things do not break if dropped 8. Easy to spot-fix (just replace the tile) 9. Attractive, hides all of the stains and surface damage After about ten years of having them down, I have not had to remove or repair any of them. I went with the diamond pattern where the cars park and the levant pattern where I stand and work. I did it because I thought the diamond pattern would be good for the car tires but would be hard on the knees if kneeling (the diamond pattern can be felt on your knee caps when kneeling--not horrible, but noticeable) If I had a do over, I would use the diamond pattern everywhere as the levant pattern is porous and is more difficult to keep clean. I went with the 24" squares as it goes down faster and has fewer joints to collect dirt.

Similar in cost to RaceDeck or the peel and stick noted elsewhere in this thread. I feel like a good epoxy coating would hold up to floor jacks and toolbox wheels, etc. I'm not sure about RaceDeck. The idea of doing it on my own is attractive, but I'm less inclined these days. On Sun, Jul 7, 2024, 10:43 wrote: > Last year I was looking into this.

I spent days preparing the floor, including grinding with a Dimond floor grinder. The coating has stood up well in the newer (4 year) old section of the garage, but in the 35 year old section of the garage the coating has lifted, mostly along the walls. It looks like calcification from below the floor in those sections. I spent a lot of labor intensive time and money with mixed results. In hindsight I think a professional floor finisher would have anticipated the problems and the floor would have been much better. All that being said, the garage is not dusty and it's easy to clean off oil, brake fluid, antifreeze, and blood. Best, Bob > On Jul 7, 2024, at 9:56?AM, Jeff Scarbrough wrote: > > Good morning, all!

If there were oils in the floor, they would need to be removed too. I spent a year with Stonhard back in the late 90's, so my data is a little stale..... They are/were one of the east coast leaders in installed commercial epoxy flooring. The concrete must be dry, preferably with a moisture barrier and they always used diamond grinders to open up the pores of the concrete so the epoxy, which makes a mechanical bond with the concrete, had something to bond to. I've toyed with doing the floors in my garage, but never seem to get the motivation to proceed with it. It would help with my older British car drippings.

In my opinion as an IT/security engineer, password managers are mandatory. It's a perfect example of "Never send a man to do a machine's job." Our brains aren't adapted to randomness, which is needed with good security practice. I also used LastPass for years (they had a "free" version that made them attractive, but it also made them a big target).As explained earlier, they failed to keep the trust of their users by not disclosing their breaches, so I've migrated from them to 1Password. I've been very happy with it, and have found it highly reliable. I don't like using the browser password managers, as I haven't found them to be sufficiently secure. 1Password does handle Passkeys as well. It also reminds you to update passwords that have been exposed in a breach, and has a very good password generator. I've looked at BitWarden (they have a self-hosted version), but haven't had enough time to give it a run through. -Peter On Sat, Jul 6, 2024 at 8:30?PM Donald H Locker wrote: > Hello, John. > > I use KeePass (keepass.info) on my laptop running Ubuntu 18.04; it's also > available for Apple and Micrisoft operating systems.
