Three Reasons You Can't Get Your Account Back
It happens a lot.
I hear from people who have lost their accounts permanently way too often. Here's how to avoid being one of them.
What Happens When Applications Die?
If you rely on them, it pays to prepare.
Apps don't last forever, and when one you rely on disappears, it can take your data with it. I'll show you how to protect yourself so you stay in control.
Are You Afraid of Tracking Cookies
They don't worry me, but others feel differently.
Cookies are placed on your machine by websites -- often more websites than you realize. We'll review cookies and how third parties use them.
Two Reasons to NOT Reuse Passwords
Hackers keep track of your passwords if they find 'em.
Reusing passwords -- even strong ones -- is risky. If one site gets hacked, attackers try that same password elsewhere. Worse, once exposed, it's saved bv hackers and reused in future attacks. I'll discuss why this matters, how to check if your password's out there, and what to do instead.
Do I Really Need a Recovery Email?
Yes, you do.
Alternate email addresses can allow you to regain access to your account if it's hacked or you forget your password.
