The post How to change the default KeePass password options appeared first on BardTech . KeePass is an open source password manager for the Windows operating system (and other operating systems thanks to ports) that ticks all the right boxes for me. While I can understand the appeal of cloud-based password managers — access your passwords everywhere as long as you have your credentials for the account at hand — it is always overshadowed by the fact that your data is saved in the cloud which has privacy and security implications. The past has shown that servers operated by companies that operated password managers are high profile targets that may get breached just like any other server and that they are not without security issues either .

For the second time this week , U.K. phone giant EE has fixed a security lapse, which allowed a security researcher to gain access to an internal site. The researcher, who goes by the pseudonym Six, found the company’s internal training site indexed on Google. (We’re not linking to the page as it remains an active site.) Although the site required an employee username and password to log in, the researcher found that an “admin” account existed, of which anyone with the answer to the secret question could reset the password. It turns out that secret question could have been stronger. “What is your eye color,” the researcher told TechCrunch. “I tried loads of colors and they all give an error,” he said. “The answer was simply ‘brown,’” he said. From there, he gained access to the entire internal training site. EE is the largest phone network in the U.K. with more than 30 million users. TechCru...
