A practical reading path for strengthening important accounts, devices, backups and recovery options.

A sensible order

  1. 1

    Secure primary email

    It often controls password resets and security alerts for other accounts.

  2. 2

    Use unique credentials

    Adopt a password manager or passkeys, and turn on MFA.

  3. 3

    Protect and update devices

    Use a strong screen lock, current software, encryption and careful app permissions.

  4. 4

    Prepare recovery

    Keep backup codes, recovery contacts, backups and lost-device tools ready.

  5. 5

    Practice independent verification

    Open official apps or saved addresses instead of trusting unexpected links.
