How to Secure Your Online Accounts

Create Defensible Passwords

Use a password manager to generate unique, 16+ character passwords. Rotate legacy passwords, remove reused credentials, and audit for known breaches.

Layer Multi-Factor Authentication

Enable MFA everywhere possible. Prefer hardware security keys or authenticator apps over SMS, and maintain a secure backup method.

Segment Your Email Addresses

Use TempMailSpot or dedicated aliases when experimenting with apps. Keep a primary inbox for personal communication and a separate one for finance, healthcare, and identity documents.

Routine Account Hygiene

• Review active sessions and connected devices monthly.
• Remove apps and OAuth connections you no longer use.
• Store recovery codes offline in a secure vault.
