I literally got 8 different hot sauces and a hot sauce making kit. 3 different people sent me them lmao

Do this even if you have money. My mom did this for my brother and I went I was like 5 and it one of my most memorable Christmases.

2auth has come in clutch. Make sure you have it on whenever possible, sure it’s a hassle of putting in a 6 digit pin that gets sent to your messages but beats being hacked freely.

This is one of the rare cases where it's a valid one.

Use 2FA ffs, not doing so is plain stupid.

LPT set up two factor with your phone.

I know this is an invasive question. But how do you relax with that type of schedule? Like what do you actually do?

Some platforms send log in attempts if the password is wrong, pretty sure. If you have a simple username then that might be the issue

OK.
Fido and Puff are gone, but now what will I do with that squeaky toy and catnip?

I try to use pass phrases that I can remember for the most important accounts, like my main email, bank account, etc. But otherwise yeah it's just a bunch of random letters, signs and numbers with as many characters as I'm allowed to use, and there's no way I'd ever get onto any of those accounts without Bitwarden.

We used to do this sometimes, with a chain of clues, each leading to the next and the present at the end. My older brother - 15 or so at the time - decided to make the Ultimate Treasure Hunt for our dad, with clues all over the house, attic to basement, inside and outside, 200 yards into the woods, 500 yards down the street to the little park, etc. Some of the clues were intentionally difficult to open - I remember one being buried at the bottom of the flour canister and another sealed in a plastic bag and submerged in a bottle of used motor oil. The present at the end of the chain was something intentionally stupid, too - a broken tool or a burned-out light bulb or something, with a weak joke attached. Ruined it for everyone. Pro tip - don't do that. 🤦‍♂️

hunter2 is not a strong password...

I had the most random strong password that would be unguessable. Didn't matter. Still got log in attempts. It really doesn't seem to matter dude

I think he meant the toys, the wording threw us all off.

Presence over presents

Sounds a bit like a superiority complex, if I’m being honest.

The best gift to give at Christmas is good memories, with traditions filled with fun and love. Far better than transitory gifts and they last a lifetime

I red this tip this morning at 8:15, had to leave to do presents at 8:40 and turned part of my nephews presents into a six clue scavenger hunt and it was so fun!!

Just pay for the box. They play with those anyway

I don't think people are taught enough about cyber security to bother with semantics but I get you. I try to encourage people to put 2fa on but it mostly falls on deaf ears

Years ago, while waiting for our luggage after a flight, the recording to make sure you had the right bag said, "Check your tags, there are lots of black suitcases with red ribbons."

I mostly just object to people using the term “hacked” because it absolves blame on their part.

I was “hacked” and not “I use the same easily guessed password everywhere and my security questions are easily looked up facts” or “I entered my details into a random website and I don’t have two-factor authentication enabled”

It's not really password leaks for the most part nowadays. It's phishing campaigns, which show a fake Steam login page and also ask for 2FA. They then immediately log in (automatically) and save the token, which is what keeps you logged in. They then follow up by changing the password and removing all your devices.
