Let’s be honest — personal cybersecurity can feel overwhelming.

All the tech jargon. The horror stories about scams. The pressure to “do everything right.” It’s enough to make anyone throw up their hands and hope for the best.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be an expert to protect yourself. You just need to take the first few steps — and that’s exactly what this page is for.

Whether you’re here because:

• You got a weird email and weren’t sure if it was real,

• You heard about someone getting scammed out of their life savings,

• Or you just want to stop using the same password everywhere…

You’re in the right place.

This isn’t about fear. It’s about confidence. It’s about giving you small, easy wins that build real protection — without needing a computer science degree.

Let’s lock things down, one step at a time. You ready?

✅ Step 1: Get a Quick Win

Let’s start with something simple that makes a huge impact:

Secure your email. Right now.

Your email is the master key to your entire digital life. If someone gets into it, they can reset your passwords, impersonate you, and dig through years of personal info. Not good.

So here’s what to do:

1. Change your email password to something long, random, and unique. If you’ve reused it anywhere else—stop what you’re doing and fix that.
   (Not sure how to come up with a strong one? Use a password manager. Seriously. It’ll save your brain and your butt.)

2. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA).
   This adds an extra layer of protection. Even if someone guesses your password, they’ll still need a code from your phone to get in. No code? No access.

This one change puts you lightyears ahead of most people. And it takes less time than reheating leftovers.
