The Password & 2FA Survival Kit
Most account compromise is preventable. The prevention is boring — a small set of habits applied consistently. The Password & 2FA Survival Kit gives you the system, the explanations, and the templates to actually do it. Two hours, end to end. After that, you've done more for your digital security than 95% of adults will do in their lifetime.
