Wait, how was using a password manager advantageous in this situation?
>Since they had my iPhone too, they now also had potential access to my passwords manager as well as all my two-factor codes (on the Google Authenticator app).
- scotty79 13y agoCould something like LastPass help? Passwords are kept on server in encrypted form and accessible from all computers after giving one last pass.
- adventureloop 13y agoLastpass on the mobile app can be set up to require a password at all times. Mine locks as soon the Screen goes out of focus. With a password manager he can use it to trigger an audit. It might not cut down the time taken to change passwords everywhere, but it will make it a lot easier.
- reidmain 13y agoThey have potential access to the password manager on his Mac as well. If you use a good password manager you should have the time to reset all your password so that if they somehow manager to crack the manager all the passwords in there are worthless. Also if you immediately ask iCloud to lock your iPhone they can't use the any of the two-factor authenticators without connecting to the Internet which would brick the phone.
