To help prevent unauthorized purchases from your console, you can set it to ask for the password every time you buy something. You can also use a PC or mobile device with Windows 10 to require a password for purchases.

I am aware that I can use git config credential.helper to store both my username and password. But I want to ONLY store my username and have the terminal ask for my password each time I push. How is this done?
If you want to store only the username, and not the password, then you shouldn't use a credential helper. Instead, you should disable the credential helper and write the username in the URL for the remote. For example, you can use git remote set-url origin http://[email protected]/repo.git to set the remote URL for origin to contain your username. Note that if your username contains characters outside of letters and numbers, it may need to be percent-escaped.
When I store a pincode (4 digits) in a password field I get a message it's a weak password. Is it possible to store a PIN without this warning? I'm trying to get rid of all warnings to update the passwords. PIN-codes are limited to 4 positions.
At the moment there is no way to remove this warning for a weak password, but I can tell you that we are discussing ways to improve this. So while I have nothing to share yet, this is definitely something that has been requested a few times :)
And this problem happens with my iPad. The app I am trying to update comes from a different Apple ID, but it updated fine before the iOS 14 update. It kept asking for my password and it worked. It stopped working after the new software update. The bug also happens with apps I downloaded with my Apple ID as well.
Gotcha. So it's not something that Apple is going to consider to be a bug. Although some apps will continue to work fine even when downloaded (regardless of if paid, or free) with a previous Apple ID, no app will update through the App store under a different Apple ID. And certainly as you experienced, at least in the past, if you put in the correct Apple ID that the particular app required that would still get you updated.
I never really used the Galaxy Store for paid apps, but liked having the option to choose not use my password for purchases should I want to. However since it updated to version 4.5.56.6, I can no longer turn off the "require password/biometrics to buy" option in Galaxy Store settings like I used to. I tap on it and nothing happens and the switch stays on. Is this a bug or is this an intentional change by Samsung? If it is on purpose, then I'll definitely be NOT buying anything from the Galaxy Store EVER since I it would be annoying to have to enter your password all the time.
The store updated to version 4.5.60.3 and now I can turn off the password requirement on my tablet. Guess there was a bug starting in version 4.5.56.6 of the store that affected older tablets that didn't support Galaxy Themes.
I am the sole person using my system with 12.04.
Every time I issue a sudo command; the system asks for the user password (which is good in its own way).
However I was thinking; without activating the root account; how can I execute the sudo commands which will not ask for user password to authenticate.
NOTE: I want to execute sudo command without authenticating via password; only when they are executed via terminal.
I don't want to remove this extra layer of security from other functions such a while using 'Ubuntu software center' or executing a bash script by drag-drop something.sh file to the terminal.
(vi!) hit Escape to return to command mode. Now, if you're happy with your editing, type in :w Enter to write the file and :q Enter to exit vi. If you made a mistake, perhaps the easiest way is to redo from start, to exit without saving (hit Escape to enter the command mode) and then type :q! Enter.
If you don't want to display your products while your store is paused, then you can use a password to protect your online store. This way, customers can't access your products while your store is paused. You can customize your password page and write a message that displays to your customers while your store is paused.
Are you annoyed by entering your Apple ID password or using Touch ID or Face ID while downloading even free apps from the iOS App Store? In this tutorial, we show you how to get free apps from the iPhone or iPad App Store without any authentication!
Below, we explain a few instances of kids charging excessive amounts of in-app game purchases to their parent's credit card without consent. Plus, we reveal how to get a refund for those charges and what you can do to protect your credit card from your kids.
If you receive a surprise bill for your child's unauthorized credit card purchases, you're not alone. It would be far from the first instance of kids making expensive purchases on their smartphones or tablets without their parents' authorization.
In these complaints, parents cited that the companies didn't provide any warning that purchases could be made without requiring a password every time. When parents approved a one-time purchase and entered their passwords, most were unaware that their child could continue to make purchases for 15 to 30 minutes without additional authorization.
I keep this password on a paper in my home. Is it recommended to buy a (hardware) vault to store this password? As I need to enter my master password every time with the firefox plugin on my desktop it would not be not very user friendly but maybe I can live with it.
15 characters is considered hard for most attackers to force at the moment. However, assuming that they are stored in password manager, 20-25 random characters gives some headroom without adding any inconvenience.
In Auth0, database connections are used to store and manage user credentials and profile data when using email/password authentication. Auth0 provides a variety of options for managing user data, including its built-in database, custom databases, or third-party databases.
In summary, Auth0 database connections are a way to store and manage user credentials and profile data for email/password authentication. In the case of social logins, Auth0 does not store the actual social credentials but creates a user profile based on the data provided by the social provider. When you link a social account to a password-based account, Auth0 keeps a reference between these accounts to allow seamless access to your application using either authentication method.
Select the second option under the first heading to stop the App Store from asking you for your password with every purchase. Then, move the switch under the Free Downloads heading to the left. This will turn off password for App Store free downloads.
Windows Hello generates a new public-private key pair on the device. The TPM generates and protects this private key; if the device doesn't have a TPM, the private key is encrypted and stored in software. This initial key is referred to as the protector key. It's associated only with a single gesture; in other words, if a user registers a PIN, a fingerprint, and a face on the same device, each of those gestures will have a unique protector key. Each unique gesture generates a unique protector key. The protector key securely wraps the authentication key. The container has only one authentication key, but there can be multiple copies of that key wrapped with different unique protector keys. Windows Hello also generates an administrative key that the user or administrator can use to reset credentials, when necessary (for example, when using the PIN reset service). In addition to the protector key, TPM-enabled devices generate a block of data that contains attestations from the TPM.At this point, the user has a PIN gesture defined on the device and an associated protector key for that PIN gesture. That means the user is able to securely sign in to the device with the PIN and thus be able to establish a trusted session with the device to add support for a biometric gesture as an alternative for the PIN. When you add a biometric gesture, it follows the same basic sequence: the user authenticates to the system by using the PIN, and then registers the new biometric, after which Windows generates a unique key pair and stores it securely. Future sign-ins can then use either the PIN or the registered biometric gestures.
There are no physical containers on disk, in the registry, or elsewhere. Containers are logical units used to group related items. The keys, certificates, and credentials that Windows Hello stores, are protected without the creation of actual containers or folders.
If the user can sign in with a password, they can reset their PIN by selecting the I forgot my PIN link in the Settings app. Users can reset also their PIN from the lock screen by selecting the I forgot my PIN link on the PIN credential provider.
No. The movement away from passwords is accomplished by gradually reducing the use of the password. In situations where you can't authenticate by using biometrics, you need a fallback mechanism that isn't a password. The PIN is the fallback mechanism. Disabling or hiding the PIN credential provider will disable the use of biometrics.
Windows Hello for Business is a feature of the Windows platform. At this time, Microsoft isn't developing clients for other platforms. However, Microsoft is open to third-parties who are interested in moving these platforms away from passwords. Interested third-parties can get more information by emailing whfbfe...@microsoft.com.
