“The world is a dangerous place, Elliot, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” ― Mr. Robot

Here’s a list of practices I follow to keep myself secure:

• Log out of unused sessions: This prevents unauthorized access from other devices.
• Check authorized devices: Regularly review the devices that can access your accounts.
• Use 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication): For an extra layer of security when logging in.
• Use strong, unique passwords or a password manager: This makes it harder for attackers to guess passwords.
• Check URLs before logging in: This helps avoid phishing attacks.
• Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts: A security breach on one site can’t compromise others if unique passwords are used.
• Keep apps up to date: Updates include security patches to fix vulnerabilities.
• Check browser extensions: Some extensions might be malicious and compromise security.
• Check third-party access of apps: To prevent unwanted access to accounts through connected apps.
• Don’t click on suspicious links: This helps avoid phishing attempts and malware.
• In social media: Be mindful of what you share publicly, it can be misused and exploited.

Apps I use:

• Bitwarden securely stores passwords and sensitive information.
• ProtonVPN encrypts internet connection for enhanced privacy and security.

Additional resources:

• Check if your email is part of a data breach: Have I Been Pwned
• Check your password strength: Bitwarden’s Password Strength Checker

By following these simple steps, you can significantly improve your online security.

Stay safe out there!
