About this template
Most accounts get broken into through a reused password or a convincing scam message. A few hours of setup closes most of those doors.
The first sections are a one-time setup in order of what protects you most. The last section is a short list of repeats that keep it working.
Tips from the template
- Start with email: whoever controls it can reset everything else.
- Do one section per sitting.
- Share the scam section with older family members.
