An attempt to do something with IT!
In this article I describe my first experiences with my FIDO2 security key from NitroKey. Interesting is the different implementation at different services. The main issue remains the lack of acceptance.
Windows now supports encryption with Bitlocker in the Home Edition of Windows, but the implementation needs improvement.
In the article I describe my personal experience with the Windows Storage Pool.

The lack of success of my attempts to solve the problem and further consideration I present in this article.

The 30th birthday of SMS is a good occasion to discuss the IT security of SMS messages.

Despite various security measures, there have been security incidents on the Salesforce platform. Customers should therefore regularly review their security measures and be aware of suspicious activity.
