I always recommend changing your keystring periodically, especially if you think it might have been compromised. Keeping it fresh reduces risks!
True! Regular updates can help keep hackers at bay. But can anyone suggest an ideal frequency for this?

I’ve read that changing it every 3-6 months is good practice, depending on your usage. What do you all think?
In my opinion, the frequency also depends on how sensitive the data is that you’re protecting. Critical systems may require more frequent changes.
Absolutely! Another thing is never to reuse keystrings across multiple devices or accounts. It could lead to a domino effect of security breaches!
So true! It’s like using the same key for your front door and your car—just begging for trouble!

Make sure to back up your encrypted keystrings in more than one secure spot. You never know when you might need a backup!

While we’re on the topic, anyone here use biometric options for device access? They seem convenient but can they be trusted?

I’ve tried them, but I still prefer a good old keystring—at least I can control where it goes!
