Password Manager Changes
Over the years, I have often recommended a password manager called Last Pass. Unfortunately, Last Pass is making some changes to their free password manager. IF you use Last Pass, here are the changes you need to be aware of:

The Great Suspender
This is an internet browser extension that I have recommended in the past. Unfortunately, this software was sold to another organization about a year ago and Google determined that it recently started to see malware within this extension, and therefore it is being automatically disabled from the Google Chrome browser (only if you had it installed). You may have seen an alert when you opened Google Chrome that referenced the disabling of this extension. Feel free to call 988-3783 or email helpdesk@sfcatholic.org if you have any concerns and would like help to remove this disabled extension.
BEWARE OF FAKE CENTURYLINK CALLS
We are hearing multiple reports of scammers calling parishes and telling them that they are calling from Centurylink about your internet. They may say something like “the wires coming into your location were through Centurylink and they need to update your router to 5G. They will ask to log into your computer and give them access. They will tell you it won’t cost a thing and they just need to re-boot your router. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO CONNECT TO YOUR COMPUTER. This is a scam. They will likely install software on your computer that allows them remote access and will track all activity.
Parish Bulletin Suggestion:
We continue to get reports of parishioners receiving email and text messages that appear to be from the pastor asking for Gift Cards. This is a scam that has been happening for a number of years. Please periodically remind your parishioners either in the bulletin or during announcements that the parish and the pastor will never solicit their members in this way.
