Today is #WorldPasswordDay! 🤩
Remember:
Frequent and mandatory password changes are STUPID.

- decreases security
- destroys UX
- Waste of time & money

Change at suspected & confirmed breach.

Use 2-factor authentication where available. (Often enabled after 1st breach 😢)
Now if you'd like to deep dive into the topic of passwords, pins, biometrics, 2-factor authentication and more, there is no better place than the #PasswordsCon track @BSidesLV in Las Vegas, August 9-10. 😎

Passwordscon.org
Use unique passwords for each service.
I know, it's hard. Write them down, or use a password manager.

Remember that you can use space in passwords.
I recommend using simple, positive sentences that you WANT to remember as your password, or passphrase as we like to call it.

Open Wifi Security (Friday evening rant)

1) Yes, at our @nordic_choice hotels we have open wifi as standard. No Client<->AP encryption (WPA/23), and no captive portal to logon to.

Let me first explain some obvious reasons for doing so. (Often disregarded by infosec pros.)
@Nordic_Choice 2) It is INCREDIBLY easy for anyone to connect and start using the Internet at our hotels. And we have absolutely all kinds of people staying with us. That includes people that are not tech-savvy at all.
@Nordic_Choice 3) Being a company who very actively seek to reduce our footprint on earth & measure our performance in "People, Planet & Profit" (not just profit), open wifi with no captive portal saves time, energy & money. It helps your mood as well. 😇
