      I'm doing some mandatory training, and now at part about computers, security and privacy: phishing, encryption, password strength. It's tear-my-hair-out wrong. Also it is almost certainly official policy, so not that kind of wrong. Ignore (like everyone being trained)/cry/both?

      Into the void: the only reliable precaution against phishing is security keys, and nothing else will work at scale. Your people will get phished so plan for that. Also, the impossible-to-remember password recommended in your shared workplace means password on post-it on monitor.

          So. My organization recently fake phished me. I followed the instructions I had learned in their cybersecurity trainings, was flagged for doing it wrong, and have now been assigned more training. It's a self-perpetuating cycle.

          I think I accidentally closed the tab! Or, if you believe in such things, my subconscious rage-clicked on the x. I'm gonna wait till tomorrow to log back in to see if it saved my "progress."

          https://youtu.be/MffUKM6HnYY  An explanation by Wired UK. In short, the purpose is to protect your accounts with something you know (a password) and something you own (a security key). Both are required to access your account.

          This is a good idea imo, the idea is often to teach them but the better use is seeing how often they are clicking these things

          What do you mean by security key? Two factor authentication?

          Yes, specifically the WebAuthn / FIDO2 UAF standard. See Yubikey, one of the popular brands. It's an open specification, so anybody can implement it. The keys can be used with multiple sites without a problem, unlike many previous solutions they're not locked to one site.

          Not all instances of passwords on post-its on monitors is wrong. Right now the only threat I face from that particular attack is from my family.

          Shared workplace where the whole point of this training is the highly-sensitive data that's accessed only by authorized individuals who are designated as such.
