Isn’t the internet so _freeing_? All we need to do every year is a half-day of personal security work!

Just like the bright futurists said!

Thank you for directing me to this article, Paul. So much to unpack here. Right after I get over my panic attack, I'll be making some changes! :)

Super interesting Paul. All such important information— thank you. Now trying to figure out the vault thing. I have an older MacAir but IOS is 12.6 —also old but good enough it seems to have in pre-installed.

Brilliant article. I need to read it several times. And I need to act! Question: I have several passwords attached to an inactive email account so I can't get the email code needed to change some passwords. I know the password I used years ago is comprimised. Any thoughts?

Touch ID and Face ID is inherently insecure from the entities we are rightly to most fear of all: the authorities. All they need is to hold our device before our faces, or take hold of our finger, and they gain total access.

That’s why I stay with a passcode.

Agreed. I deeply mistrust third party anti-anything. Without exception, my experience with these has been hellish.
