This episode of the X-Force Red in Action podcast series tackles password security. Dustin Heywood, a penetration tester and password cracker, talks about how to handle passwords. He says passwords are a cheap method of authentication baked into technical specifications and are almost universally familiar. Heywood recommends using a reputable password manager to generate unique credentials for every website and store them securely. He recommends using two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible, but suggests taking a pass on unsecure SMS codes in favor of authenticator apps.”]
