What interest do you have in your privacy on the Internet?

You think you are well protected with your antivirus?
Are you sure that the site you are visiting is legitimate?

On the Internet, security is more important than ever, especially in recent years when we see the number of attacks.
Cybercrime has never been as strong as it is today.
And this will not stop, it will even increase because there are more and more machines connected to the Internet.
Your transactions, your passwords, your entire life in bulk and constantly at the mercy of Internet hackers.

Do you know what phishing is?

A malicious hacker will make a page of phishing phishing or scamming which looks like the Facebook homepage for example, the goal is to steal your login and password.
Then, it will be able to connect to your Facebook account and spread its virus or malware to all your Facebook friends. This is valid for all other social networks like instagram, linkedin
It will also be able to promote fraudulent sites with your Facebook identity.
This applies to all other sites, including your bank's.
A hacker will therefore be able to display your bank's homepage and want your login details quite easily without you even realizing anything.
In fact, they are able to put a gateway between you and the official site that will allow them to suck up all your credentials and even your authentication cookies, thus allowing them to log in for you without even typing a single password.
A tool like Evilginx 2 allows you to do this kind of attack, it will simulate completely and retransmit all the information to the official site except that in passing it recovers all the connection information from your Facebook Google YouTube Pinterest LinkedIn account is once again everything is possible because I tell you even the site of your bank can be duplicated to deceive you.

Below is a screenshot of Evilginx 2 and websites for which it is possible to create phishing pages to retrieve your passwords and even if you have the 2 authentication factors. In fact, even if you log in with 2FA EvilGinx will retrieve the login cookie, so all the hacker has to do is load the login cookie into his web browser. This will allow him to log in with your account without even typing a password!

What about Ransomware ?

It is also quite possible that the hacker can inject a ransomware on your computer.
A ransomware will block and encrypt all data on your computer to hold it hostage.
Basically, all the data on your computer will not be accessible until you pay the amount requested, usually in bitcoins.

Above you can see what ransomware looks like.
Imagine your screen blocked on this kind of page, it's chilling, isn't it?

How does the Password Manager protect you?

In the case of phishing, you will be able to detect that you are not on the legitimate site.

Indeed, Dashlane will record your passwords but also the website address. Thus, if you are on a phishing page, Dashlane will not offer you to fill in your identifiers because it will have detected that it is not the official site.

De plus, Dashlane propose également un VPN afin de vous connecter de manière sécurisé sur tous vos appareils et partout dans le monde. Lorsque vous naviguez avec un VPN vous êtes moins susceptible de subir une attaque « Man in The Midle ». En gros, un hacker sur le même réseau que vous pourrait intercepter tout ce que vous envoyez sur la toile… Y compris vos mots de passes. En faisant de l’arpspoofing il pourrait même vous envoyer sur des pages hameçonnage…

Anyway, it gets technical but know that a VPN will be able to encrypt everything you send on the web and avoid that sensitive data are intercepted.

A password manager will allow you to change your password for each site!

You will only have to remember your master password to be able to connect to all your favorite sites without having to know or choose the password.

And yes, Dashlane will choose a random password for you every time you register on a new website.
You don't even need to know it because it will be automatically saved in your secure Dashlane account.

It is very important to have different passwords depending on the sites you visit.
Simply because if you have the same password on all the sites you visit, it only takes one to be hacked and your password, which governs your entire private life on all the websites you visit, will be revealed.
It is therefore essential to diversify your passwords as much as possible and choosing complicated ones is extremely random.
Once again, the password manager will automatically suggest an extremely complex and totally random password.
Each time you visit your favorite site, login and password will be filled in automatically to log in without any action from you.
It's really very convenient especially when you visit tons of sites and have tons of accesses everywhere.
The time saving is just enormous because you never look for a password and you are logged in automatically.
You will tell me that it is possible to save all your passwords in a web browser like Mozilla Firefox or Opera.
Yes indeed, except that if you are affected by a Trojan horse, you should know that most Trojan horses can recover all the passwords stored in all web browsers.
Thus, at the slightest hacking, your private life is in the hands of a malicious hacker.
With a password manager this is not possible because your passwords are stored in an extremely complex encrypted database inaccessible to the hacker.

Why Dashlane? My Opinion

The big advantage of Dashlane is that it can be installed on all your devices.
So, I personally have Dashlane on my iPhone, my tablet, my computer, my desktop...
Simply install the chrome plug-in for your computer or the application for your iPhone, Android phone, tablet or iPad.

Another aspect I like about Dashlane is that they also provide you with a VPN that allows you to connect in an even more secure way even when traveling.
This also allows you to change your IP address on demand and thus hide your real IP address.
Thus you can hide your IP and make the website you are visiting think you are in the United States when you are in France.
What's also great about Dashlane is that you can register your credit card.
So even if you don't have your credit card at hand you can pay for your purchases simply with your master password.
The boxes will automatically fill in and you will be able to make your purchases without having your credit card in front of you.
Dashlane also offers secure notes and a way to store for example your identity papers.
So you can write down a lot of sensitive data in your secure notes and you will have access to it from anywhere in the world.
You can also register your identity papers which can be ideal when you go on a trip and lose your papers.

Honestly, every time I go on a trip I check that I have all my data in my Dashlane application.
So even if I lost my phone while traveling or my ID, I would just need Internet access to retrieve all my identity data, means of payment and emergency notes and contacts.
This is a real precaution that must be taken whether you travel or not.
Dashlane is extremely secure and your data is encrypted on their server anyway.
Even if they were to be compromised the data would be unusable.

I think I've done the trick with this software or rather this application, anyway I strongly advise you to use a password manager rather than saving your passwords in the web browser for obvious security reasons related to the Trojan horse I talked about earlier in this article.
I invite you to discover Dashlane for free, but I strongly recommend the Premium version which is very affordable at about 39 € per year, that's about 3.25 € per month to secure all your data and avoid any leakage of your private life on the Internet.

So click below to discover Dashlane for free, I have no doubt that you have adopted to have all the features including the ability to use it on all your devices.
And yes, this is a premium feature.
Do not hesitate to ask your questions, I will answer them with great pleasure...
