Your Thoughts
I believe the people who get hacked don’t go all out to protect their accounts.

Password managers should be invoked with facial or fingerprint recognition only.

All your sites will do the same

The most critical, I.e. banks, should be set to send a 2FA code to your device.

Get a second device or SIM card for extra security, a number that no one knows.

Use complex passwords from the various random password generators.

If you are able, stop using your email address as your logon, use the PW generator and create a unique log on.

Don’t duplicate sign ins, the password manager will alert you.
