How To Change Skygo Password

[Rojo Scherer]

Ihad 6 devices on my sky go extra. Two for me, two for my daughter, and two for my son in law. To cut a long story short I no longer want my son in.law to have access to my subscription via sky go. I removed all 6 devices and changed my sky log in password and told it to no-one else. I.then resigned in with my now three devices. Two weeks later and son.in.laws removed device has today re-signed in. How is this possible after I removed his device and changed the sky log in password ?

If you tick "Sky Apps" and then the remove button, then anyone using SkyGo or SkyNews or SkySports apps etc. using your credentials will have the previous auth token removed and will be forced to sign in again (using the new password only you know). Will mean people you want to use your ID will need to do the same, but will force whoever is using your previous details off, this might not stop them straight away but it will over a day or so.

A 2019 study conducted by Google in conjunction with Harris Poll found that keeping track of passwords is a source of frustration for the majority of Americans. A whopping three in four respondents say they struggle with passwords.

Even if people are smart enough not to use the passwords mentioned above, the majority of users polled by Google have included easily discoverable personal information in their passwords such as their name or birthdate.

Almost half of Google respondents reported having divulged a password at some point. Granted, 57 percent of these shared it with a significant other, which makes the statistic easier to digest. However, only 11 percent change their password after a breakup. This could explain why in California 10 percent of survey participants have the password of an ex-partner or former roommate or colleague.

According to the Google survey, fewer than half of Americans say that they would change an online account password if they discovered it had been breached. This is in spite of the fact that 40 percent admit their personal information has been exposed online, 47 percent have lost money due to compromised information, and 38 percent have sacrificed time as a result of a data breach.

Have you wondered why the length of a password is so important? Every character you add makes it much more difficult to crack. For example, assuming all lowercase characters and a 26 character alphabet, there are around 3 x108 possibilities for a six-character password. On the other hand, as discussed in a Scientific American article, there are around 19 x 1021 possibilities for a 12-character password with lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols (say 10 options).

Another surprising revelation was that password reuse was more common for IT professionals (50 percent of whom admitted to reusing passwords on work accounts) than for other individuals (39 percent of whom were guilty of the same). IT professionals were also almost as likely as other individuals to share passwords with others (51 percent and 49 percent respectively).

One of the more shocking statistics was that after experiencing an account takeover, 75 percent of individuals changed the way they protected their accounts and managed passwords, but a much lower percentage (65 percent) of IT specialists did the same.

Another 2019 Google study in conjunction with Harris Poll found that 13 percent of people reuse the same password across all accounts, and a further 52 percent use the same one for multiple (but not all) online accounts. Only 35 percent use a different password for every account.

This is corroborated by other studies including a 2021 Spycloud study that says 70 percent of people reuse passwords for their personal accounts. This even applies to Fortune 500 employees, 64 percent of whom have the same password on multiple accounts.

In its 3rd Annual Global Password Security Report, LastPass determined the number of work passwords to be much higher at 85 for SMB employees and 25 for workers at larger companies. These numbers depend on industry and country. Media and advertising employees manage an average of 97 work passwords. Belgian workers deal with an average of 100 passwords.

Bitwarden has found that, as of 2022, 42 percent rely on memory to manage their work passwords. Perhaps more worrying, 53 percent had shared a password over email, with just 24 percent saying that they never share passwords.

A HYPR study in 2019 uncovered the high rate of password resets. More than three in four users admitted to forgetting a personal password and having to reset it within the past 90 days. This number was quite a bit lower when it came to work passwords, but still, well over half (57 percent) had required a work password reset in the same time period.

LastPass found that employees reuse a password an average of 13 times. Reused passwords represent a huge risk as someone with access to one set of stolen or compromised credentials could use them to hack into other accounts.

LastPass breaks down the results by company size, industry, and country. Employees of small businesses are the worst offenders. Those working for companies with 1-25 staff reuse passwords an average of 14 times. Media and advertising companies are by far the most likely to reuse passwords, with an average of a whopping 22 reuses per password.

As for which country is the worst, Canadians lead password reuse with an average of 15 times, closely followed by several countries including Australia and Belgium, where users tend to reuse passwords an average of 14 times.

If Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is enabled on an account, this means you need to complete two or more steps to access it. The multiple factors could be, for example, a password, a text or email code, or biometric solutions.

According to LastPass, 57 percent of global businesses have employees who use multi-factor authentication. This figure is 12 percent higher than in 2018. The study also found that some countries are more likely than others to use MFA, with Denmark, Netherlands, and Switzerland being the most prominent users.

Usage rates depend on industry and company size too. As expected, technology and software companies are 2FA trailblazers. They are closely followed by the education, banking and financial, and telecommunications sectors. Larger companies are more likely to have employees using MFA than smaller organizations.

While they might not be as quick to use 2FA or install application updates, it seems that older people are more likely to be savvy when it comes to password use. Google found that those in the 50+ age range are more likely to use different passwords for their online accounts and view security software updates as very important. That said, they are less likely to use password managers or set up recovery methods on their accounts.

According to the Verizon 2020 Data Breach Investigations Report, 506 of the breaches studied involved malware. The most prominent type of malware observed was password dumper malware which was involved in almost 40 percent of malware-related breaches. Password dumpers, also known as credential dumpers, are used to steal credentials (usually usernames and passwords) from the victim computer.

Verizon also studied 868 breaches involving hacking. The vast majority (four in five) of these were linked to passwords in some way; they either involved brute force attacks or the use of stolen or lost credentials.

Passwords work by encrypting data so that only the person with the correct password can decrypt and access it. They are typically used to protect sensitive information, like credit card numbers or personal data. Passwords are usually case-sensitive, meaning that the correct password must be entered with the right combination of upper and lower case letters. Some passwords are also time-sensitive, so they expire after a specific time and need to be renewed. To make a password more secure, it is recommended to use a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.

Passwords are essential in cybersecurity because they help to keep data safe and secure. By encrypting data, passwords make it much more difficult for cybercriminals to access and misuse sensitive information.

From the information online and the prompt in VE Configure we need a password inorder to configure the MultiPlus 2 to use the Grid / other setting in order to get the gen set working as the AC input -right?

Just as an aside; why on earth did you put that under Grid menu when we're using the device in an Offgrid situation for gods sake! Using a Local Genset is the opposite of Grid! Surely you're not going to do "power back" to a gen set right?

Everything else has been plug and play to a large degree so to run into this situation in an emergency that requires us to get back to the really nice bloke who sold us the equipment in the first place is beyond a joke.

It should not be required out of the box on a new off grid installation. Only when making changes to an existing unit that has already been configured by the installer. There are some pretty serious implications for an incorrectly configured Multi connected to a generator, or the grid. So there needs to be some protections in place.

Security of operational settings The internal settings of the demand response or power quality response modes of the inverter shall be secured against inadvertent or unauthorized tampering. Changes to the internal settings shall require the use of a tool and special instructions not provided to unauthorized personnel. NOTE: Special interface devices and passwords are regarded as tools. Compliance shall be determined by inspection.
