@SiyanoVlogWHat is someone accessed my Bitwarden?
@robynbrockhoeft5210Thank you for mentioning phone theft.
@ulrikesextro4187I don't use a Credit card and don't buy at Amazon. I only use a debit card at a grocery store.
@ulrikesextro4187ChU adios bye bye bla bla bla
@marysoriavega3946Bla bla bla too much
@marysoriavega3946When you "lose" your phone that's when you realize that 2 Factors Authentication is stupid.
@MikeKlaarNot all phones can do tap to pay especially the cheaper ones. The phones needs NFC (near field communications) to work. Check the specs on your phone.
@fritzbang4805I know this is late so maybe you don't monitor this video anymore, but I hope you can answer my question.
Q: Does my bank tap-to-pay, work the same as Google, Samsung, Apple, etc? I swipe up, it opens the app, and uses my debit card information to pay.
Mozilla has a Firefox email mask that you can use. It is an email that doesn't give any of your info and forwards whatever you want to your regular email while keeping your anonymity.
@ritasplace1I heard tap to pay isnât as safe as swiping the card
@leahwebb9622My brain just leveled up like a video game character.
@songSreymom-c1xI canât thank you enough for this!
@BhiraiahSangepu-o6oI wouldn't go with facial recognition. The Supreme Court ruled that it is no different than cops fingerprinting you down at the station. So any sort of facial recognition or biometric lock on your phone aren't protected in the US by requiring a warrant to acquire. Even if you obey the laws and always do the right thing attorneys always say tell them nothing and get a lawyer. Because even if they arrest you for something bogus they'll go into damage control mode and try to find any reason to justify it. Protect yourself by sticking to pin locks on phones and always lock your phone. If you can use Graphene OS go for that option.
@TrackerRooHundreds of logins? đ. I just did a clean of my PW manager, i had over 1500. My bank doesnât have my email address, so any mail I get I automatically know is a scam.
@MoonwiredHow can anyone impersonate me when they would have my credit card ? In Germany ( and I guess pretty much all over Europe), to set up a loan or something big, youâll have to show your ID in person, go to the postoffice for an ID check or go to a specific customer service online to have your ID checked.
@jinde75Lol I just remember I had a Netflix account that I haven't used like for almost a year
@mitsuomits9077I use a separate credit card for automatic payments. The other credit card I use on my phone & carry it to use when I am shopping, getting gas, etc. That way if that card is compromised I donât have to change all my auto payments to the new card.
@annmariesorensen250The âtap to payâ function can be copied by nearby hacking devices. Such as the flipper.
@lqdtranceAppreciate your tips, but they left me exhausted. What a wrecked and frenzied world we live in....

@cootmasterIf youâre in London beware crossrail thereâs âfreeâ Wi-Fi so your phone will connect as enter a station unless you turn it off. Iâm told they count passenger numbers too, donât know if itâs true but donât share anything with government run Wi-Fi systems
@hayleyfoster2634Tough to turn off blue tooth when you utilize it with your hearing aids.
@vibesmomI agree with tip about turning off wifi and bluetooth when outdoors- I do this all the time for security and battery saving purposes
@SanskritiSingsI had never thought of creating a separate email address for financial accounts. You gave me a lot of homework to do
