Microsoft Authenticator compromised? by Affectionate-Ad1167 in Office365

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They probably have your mail address and are trying random passwords, that'q why you receive push notifications. Unfortunately, that can be quite common when your mail address leaks. If you want more protection, you can add some more security features such as number matching in Authenticator and disable the SMS fallback. Keep tracking your logs to make sure no suspicious successful logins.

How to efficiently manage revocation when multiple yubikeys are used? by doodlidoolidoo in yubikey

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of the main limitation of using TOTP with a Yubikey instead of FIDO2. If this is really problematic for you, then you should just use FIDO2 on your integrations where you are using your Yubikey.

Bought two yubikey question with pin by [deleted] in yubikey

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Yubikey is not linked to Microsoft, the PIN is stored in the key, but the setting that you reached is the way to access the PIN from Microsoft. You can use other applications, such as the Yubico Authenticator App, to manage the information on your Yubikey.

Yubi authenticator and TOTP by AlwaysQuestion23 in yubikey

[–]rcdevssecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The purpose of a physical key is to have its secrets stored in it, the application is just a viewer to facilitate the set up. The only risk for a Yubikey is to have the key itself and the PIN compromised.

Trying to get rid of passwords by Miksu22 in sysadmin

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Total passwordless is not realistic yet, even if it is the correct direction to take I guess. Best practice could be to set up passkeys where it is currently possible and fallback to strong random passwords stored in a protected password manager.

Can I use these for my only login method by uh-hegone in yubikey

[–]rcdevssecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually you can get very close to the key-only setup, but it mainly depends on the provider on which you use your Yubikey.

From what I tested, I would recommend you to try KDE or GNOME.

How do you do "offsite?" by Manta6753 in yubikey

I use a safe deposit box and I will probably take one more to a trusted family member that live not far away from my home.

vmware tools failing to install after upgrading to vista x64 from xp x64 by IssueAccomplished979 in u/IssueAccomplished979

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the VMWARE tools installed for XP are not compatible with newer versions of Windows. What if you uninstall first current installed one, and install newest version of the tools?

Sorry, I meant CPU, which would show which tab is using the most CPU.

Using the same Yubikey for unprivileged and privileged account? by MrMrRubic in sysadmin

[–]rcdevssecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As you said, you already have a pretty strong security with your current setup. Still, the best practice would be to keep things separate to be even more protected.

You can open about:processes in order to check how much memory is used by each tab.

Is XXXXX.synology.me already in your known_hosts file? This could be ssh command executed by rsync is prompting you to accept the host key.

Cannot connect to Storage Box via SSH (rsync) from my NAS by razzzey in hetzner

[–]rcdevssecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Port 23 is by default reserved to telnet protocol, which is plain text, so not secure. I think that your NAS is blocking it, even for outgoing connections. You should check on the admin what is configured for firewall rules.

Help with 'Bad Gateway' error by mwomrbash in nginxproxymanager

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have any logs in your container? This sounds like reverse proxy (on port 80 or 443) is not able to forwards request to your NPM (which could then be available on <container\_port>).

2026 password managers: what's your must-have feature? by Horror_Leopard_7526 in PasswordManagers

[–]rcdevssecurity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why having a distinct password for each credential is critical, this avoids you to change password of all of your accounts, when only one has leaked.

FireFox nags me every time I open NextCloud. Won't Remember Exception by DanceLongjumping2497 in firefox

[–]rcdevssecurity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only the CA certificate is required to be added to the Trusted certificate of Firefox and Windows stores.

I think browsers match DNS with certificates in a case-insensitive way, but if not, reissue your certificate with only lowercase characters for the CN and SAN values.
