This forum is the one that is most aware, knowledgeable and yes sometimes even overly paranoid it seems about security compared to any other forums or reddits I read so I thought it would be a good place to ask. Please take that as a compliment and not a flame. lol
First question seems simple enough. Obviously naming all my devices on my network the same user and pw is a BAD idea. But what about just the cameras? I only have 6. If they are all the same name and password and are all on a separate vlan with other ioT devices that do not connect to the internet is there any harm in that? If one camera is hacked and someone gets in my network what's the difference??? Once you are in, you are in and don't care about the other cameras is my thought process. I'd like to do the same for say all my smart plugs and switches however with a different name.
Second question is what do you guys use for password managers. Pen and paper, spreadsheet, shared note, KEEPASS or some other open source or a paid for deal. It would be great to have a solution I could use on my phone as well as my PC. Maybe even more than one of my PC's. Honestly for work stuff I use notes in my phone. It just seems there has to be a better way. The paid for and big company's I don't trust. I'd rather self host or keep it local.
My devices are all only used by me and not accessible by anyone else at all.
Thanks Guys!
