Passwordless LogMeOnce Issues Critical Advice About a Recent Data Breach and Offers Expert Tips to Help Prevent Future Hack Attacks
Saturday, February 4, 2023
LogMeOnce is a pioneer in passwordless password management and has issued critical, timely, and actionable advice on internet security in response to a blog written by 1Password's principle security architect. LogMeOnce recommends a multi-prong approach to data security, including using passwordless login options, updating master passwords and enabling two-factor authentication, as well as reviewing and updating passwords. LogMeOnce's products provide multi-factor protection and are designed to make it difficult for hackers to gain access.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Mr. Mike Shahbazi, CTO at LogMeOnce offers "Real, Actionable Advice." He is a graduate of world renowned school of IIT. Other IIT alumni are Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and Vinod Khosla a co-founder of Sun Microsystems.
LogMeOnce, the pioneer in passwordless password management with a powerful patent portfolio, is issuing critical, timely advice to internet users. This advise is written in light of a blog published by 1Password's principle security architect Mr. Jeffrey Goldberg who said, "as it happens we have estimated through a cracking competition that the cost of cracking passwords hashed ... Ten billion guesses would cost less than 100USD." Similarly others who have tried to come out of anonymity by writing similarly which are armchair quarterback statements.
Shahbazi is recommending a different security mindset for LastPass team in light of 3rd party news about data breach. "There may be multiple dynamic elements playing concurrently in the background at LastPass," he says. "After cleanup, consider inoculation at various levels, as vaccination against COVID was a good lesson. You have adequate resources and you will overcome this problem."
The industry needs to keep its focus on helping all users, and stay away from antics, says security expert Mike Shahbazi, CTO of LogMeOnce. "Vulnerable users who had to pivot their security defenses need real solutions to their problem. A mature and technically savvy response would avoid throwing petrol on a flame. It does not help and simply backfires."
Rather than a fractionally true assertion as 1Password has made, which only addresses one piece of the puzzle, LogMeOnce is emphasizing the multi-prong approach necessary for providing comprehensive data security. Security experts should be focused on building and retaining these multiple security layers, and ensuring that the media and public have a full picture, in order for all of us to properly protect ourselves:
-- Go passwordless: If you want to avoid typing a long master password, or
entering 2FA manually, then go passwordless. Unlike some companies that
lack the engineering capabilities to offer this option and were forced
to join alliances, LogMeOnce has been a pioneer in the passwordless
password management market since 2011 with a comprehensive patent
portfolio is able to offer multiple passwordless login options and
security technologies:
-- Patented Passwordless QR Code Login
-- Patented PasswordLess Selfie PhotoLogin
-- Three additional Patented PasswordLess Login options (PIN, Face,
Fingerprint)
-- Patented LogMeOnce Mugshot
-- Patented Account Freeze
-- Patented Scheduled Login
-- Patented Password SHOCK©
-- Act immediately and defensively: If you insist on using passwords, in
light of any breach, update your master password. Master password should
be strong, complex, fun, and memorable. Yours could begin with a phrase
like "My Grandparents Play On Baseball Field" and then be strengthened
with a symbol, such as "My4Grandparents$Play$0n$Baseball$Field." Now,
that is a strong master password. Immediately replace your existing
master password with a new one and start blocking access for bad actors.
-- Do not duplicate this master password: Never use this master password
for any other websites or accounts.
-- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of
security.
-- Review and update your passwords: Start with the important ones (with
financial institutions) and work your way through less critical
accounts.
-- Avoid becoming a phishing attack victim: Do not open or respond to
unwanted emails or text messages, or click on any links within such
messages. Always confirm URL accuracy, and make typing in any website
addresses a habit rather than auto-filling the information. And do not
venture out to the dark web.
LogMeOnce's solutions present a game-changer to vulnerable end users and anyone wanting a simpler, more confident way to avoid the crosshair of hackers. Going passwordless makes it difficult for hackers to gain access, as they would have to go through multiple layers of security rather than just trying to guess a password. Using the LogMeOnce QR Code Login or Selfie Photo Login means never having to remember your grandparents' baseball story.
All LogMeOnce passwordless login products have automatic multi-factor protection, meaning that others would need multiple passwords to unlock your various security layers. LogMeOnce platform is the only one embedded with multiple patented security products that protect passwords, identity theft and cloud storage files.
