I started with the free version and then decided I was dependent on it enough that I wanted to support them and $24/year isn’t terrible for something that I use many many times a day. I also like being able to turn on two-factor which I believe is a premium piece.

Lastpass also allows you to share passwords between users. And Lastpass has a free tier that is pretty awesome by itself with the $24/year premium upgrade. Personally I think the $24/year is worth it to keep around such an awesome and useful tool that I use so many times daily.

This is what my wife and I do. Our finances are 100% open-book between us, and for those times when a surprise is in order, your suggestion works every time.

Hey honey, don’t look at mint or reconcile the credit card accounts for a month, ok? Yeah I know it’s the busiest time of year for scams and fraud, but I want this gift to be a surprise.

Carvana provides a convenient service that you pay for, sort of like when you go to the corner store and pay a dollar more for a bag of chips that you could drive all the way to the grocery store, park and walk all the way to the back of the store, stand in a line behind a few people etc.

Carvana is spun off from Drive Time, which was Ugly Duckling before that.

I use stickers. My bag is black, like 95% of the others, so it’s a big help.

If you were planning on getting a Playstation Vue account WITH HBO, Showtime, Cinemax, Fox Soccer Plus, etc., having a Playstation Plus account will save you $24-$26 a year.

No mention of U2F, or how many SMS 2FA implementations actually decrease security, as you can reset the password via SMS (which means it’s not really 2FA after all)

I also use LastPass. I’ve been a Premium subscriber for a couple of years, now. Best decision I ever made on password/account access management.

I use the free version of LastPass. Works great and doesn’t cost anything.

If you’re keeping a list (paper or electronic), you’re an accident waiting to happen. Get yourself a password manager.

Password managers FTW. Pick your poison, but really all of the them are pretty good. If you don’t want to trust any servers/online system, using something like Keepass. Else go with Lastpass, Dashlane, or 1Password. All are good options, just go with the one that works for your setup.

LifeLock is the service that Equifax is giving people 1 year of for free. So yes, it would work. I’d steer clear though because it’s pretty shady. LifeLock is owned by Symantec, but they have a 5 year contract with Equifax to get the credit data. So basically, Equifax compromised your data, then sells you a service…

It responds to “Hey, Google” also, IMO it’s much less weird to say

It will be interesting to read reviews on the sound quality of the Home Max, the Sony, and the Sonos line (esp the Play 5). It certainly seems their targeting the quality home audio market given price tags.

Or just use Reynolds Non Stick Aluminum Foil. Nothing sticks, like parchment paper, but it molds perfectly to any pan, no rollback, so it’s more convenient. It’s wonderful.

It sure seems like the more research that is published, the more entrenched the axiom becomes: “Everything in moderation”

SMS-based authentication is the weakest Two-Factor Authentication. There are similar cases here in the Philippines and I’ve been discouraging it for years.
