Episode #0001 – Password Hygiene and Password Managers
In this episode we talk about a close call one of the Digital Ascent team members had with a phishing email and how a password manager protected him from a world of pain. We also cover some industry best practices and how you can be safer in both your home and work lives. Lastly we wrap up the episode talking about a video games that we love both past and present.
Thanks for tuning in and we hope to hear from you on our forum and in our Discord!
We’d love for you to tell us what you’re doing to keep your passwords safe, what password managers you recommend, and what video games you are sinking your time into.
