Shared today on Facebook

Giving myself a high-five!🤚 I’ve spent a couple weekends crossing off a big task on my “Digital Life” To Do list: moving all of my passwords to a new password manager (Strongbox), setting up a shared DB with the Snook for passwords we both need to access; upgrading every password to something much stronger, and closing as many old junk accounts as possible. I also went through Google Password’s security recommendations (and Firefox’s browser ones too, but they were largely the same) to be sure I didn’t miss any junk accounts with compromised or easily guessable passwords. (There were things in there going back 12+ years!) I feel very good about this, and annoyed that I waited so long to finally get it under control. I also have renewed appreciation for companies that offer a prominent “Delete your account” option, and scorn for those that make you raise a support request.



Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
