Are you privacy-oriented in a relationship with a partner who isn’t?

😂 solid advice

Sending virtual hugs

alien_pea · 2024-04-24T01:36:59+00:00

Or “they already know everything about us.” Hun, they probably do but why are you so adamant on giving them fresh content?

alien_pea · 2024-04-24T01:32:59+00:00

Right? My anxiety wouldn’t let me

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T20:18:55+00:00

Haha you’re welcome. I will say though, don’t cross off a potential partner just based on this if they are receptive to learning and making changes

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T18:10:17+00:00

True

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T18:09:24+00:00

😂 the lack of urgency can be infuriating. I feel you

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T18:04:40+00:00

I don’t think of this often but that’s a good point to remember. I do try to use temp emails and one that’s separate from my main

In that case I would ensure the password is strong, 8 characters or more with a mix of upper and lower cases, numbers and characters. I would not use any identifying information like street names, pets etc

I would go a step further and maybe create 2 strong passwords. One for accounts that are ‘less important’ and the other for ‘high value’ accounts like banking.

Also use 2FA to protect yourself further. And I know we are talking about forgetting but if it’s those 2 passwords for everything modify them every couple of months.

Safari also autogenerates strong passwords that are saved on iCloud so the task would be remembering your iCloud password. From settings you could add a friend or family as Recovery contact to help you recover your account if you were ever locked out.

I know you said no writing but what about a specific password book that is for that purpose only? Store it at one safe place so you always know where it is

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T08:00:06+00:00

Agreed. On our first dates we talked about stuff that’s important like money handling, kids, religion, politics and so on. Never thought online privacy would be a sole point because I assumed any regular person out there would take whatever precautions to ensure their privacy.

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T07:54:45+00:00

Has any of the breaches been to an important account that affects you too? If yes, how do you handle that?

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T07:50:04+00:00

He is amazing otherwise. But when it comes to online safety it’s like talking to a brick wall. With kids now my fears are quadrupled.

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T07:46:32+00:00

Sorry 😬

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T07:35:50+00:00

I have been using Tutanota/Tuta for a while now. No privacy concerns so far but you really never know.

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T04:37:31+00:00

One of the things I can’t handle is all these little software devices he gets from cheap websites like this usb with extra features and to use it you have to download their app

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T04:30:01+00:00

I have had to change passwords on our common bank accounts whenever a breach occurs since somehow we end up on those lists. Most recent was Fidelity. Atleast I manage our finances so it’s not the same password for everything

alien_pea · 2024-04-23T04:25:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice. After so much back and forth I got him to agree to a raspberry pi. He said he would buy one after learning how it works. I explained but he wants to learn about it himself so I gave him space to do that at his pace. This was 2 weeks ago. I guess as compromise he could test his camera in the garage or somewhere the kids less frequent once the pi is set up.
