Remember My Password? [Computer Security]
Important!
Dear visitors,
This blog and the Tigarus.com network will be changing our website software in May (2024). There will be some down time and there will be a change to the webpage addresses.
We will also be removing the Anime blogs. The Rocksmith Songs website will be unavailable of a few weeks or months while I move the database to the new software.
At the moment we are running on Wordpress, the new software is an in-house project which is 57 times faster. It will also provide more freedom for development.
Thank you for understanding.
This feature or option is a big security risk, because your password is stored as is and can be read by anyone.
The Risk
By checking the remember my password option you allow anyone that sits at your computer access to whatever.
Although you can’t read the password, because it is replaced by an asterisk in the password field, your password is kept on your computer as an ordinary text file, were anyone who knows where it is can read your password.
Solutions
Simple solution, just don’t use the remember my password option, it’s just that simple.
For people who like the convenience of not having to enter your password every time, you can use a program like KeePass. Programs like KeePass is a password manager and can provide a high level of security.
