Basic Security rashmi's PC Security Config

[rashmi]

Testing Process Lasso; it seems to work! I notice a significant difference with Vivaldi, which launches slowly on my old HDD system.

I see that you're using Sticky Password. Please make regular backups of your password vault if you enabled cloud sync. An issue occured and I lost some of my passwords.

A golden rule: never put your eggs in one basket.

I don't use cloud features and have multiple backups, including a physical one.

I used to keep my password vault offline, but that was very inconvenient for me. Now I'm using Dashlane and Enpass.
I love Sticky Password, but it seems dead to me. I know they update the software every now and then, but no real progress.

For me the most important feature in a password manager is custom fields and that is available on only Enpass and Bitwarden as far as I know (and Keepass)

I also use Enpass and have Password Boss; Enpass works well, and Password Boss discontinued the installer version and is now extension only.

I tried Password Boss once, but I did not trust it. I don't trust Enpass either nor Sticky Password as they tend not to undergo security audits as frequently as Dashlane and 1Password.

I've been very busy to the point I did not check latest updates, but as far as I remember, Dashlane is heading towards being open source.

I still use Process Lasso, many feel its needed & as this is a pretty fast PC with plenty of memory (64 GIG) Corsair @3600 MHz maybe there aren't many reasons to use it, but I do, I've experimented & find when copying gigantic files over to external drives (TB's) it does run smoother is the best I can say, I have the option of disabling it & running frankly with Win 11 pro MS in their infinite wisdom should be able to sort out memory etc, however in my case I prefer life with it than without it.

@Sorrento Both of you, how do you use it? Just install and forget and let Pro Balance do its thing or do you change something manually? I heard about it many times in the past but never tried it.

@SeriousHoax, I'm using the defaults; no changes.

No matter how fast your setup or laptop is, Process Lasso always makes a difference. It just keeps things running smoothly. I'm not sure if that can be technically proven, but that's how it feels on every single device I use it on.


I should note that I had issues with it on AMD CPUs. Running PL on AMD powered devices resulted in degraded performance in my experience.

I replaced Vivaldi with Firefox as the main browser, while Edge serves as a backup browser.
