A Precautionary Tale (of sorts)

7

Got a confirmation email from Amazon for the order of this Nikon lens. The person who placed it used their name for the billing and shipping addresses, and used my gift card balance.

Thankfully, I noticed the email in time, so I was able to cancel the order and change my password.

You never think these things can happen to you…
Until they do.

I was going to keep this in the unofficial goat blame thread for @dashcloud, but decided to expand on my original post.

For a while, I’ve been thinking about using a service like Enpass for passwords. I currently have 2 different different apps on my phone; Enpass, and a similar app called SafeInCloud.

They both have local encryption, so I’m not too concerned with that.

The reason why I have 2 apps(neither of which I use yet), is that while I have a lifetime license for Enpass, SafeInCloud has an Android Wear extension, which Enpass didn’t implement yet.
(I have the premium version of SafeInCloud.)

Anyone have any recommendations for a good password generator/saver app?

(I use Android in case that hasn’t been made obvious in the past. And for those who think that just because I use Android Wear that OBVIOUSLY I use Android - Android Wear works with iOS also.)
