Results: Maintenance for your online presence
Published on 08/06/2022
I'm the type that when it comes to security, I take things very serious and make sure all passwords are changed frequently and their complexity is high. This came as a result from my bank account getting hacked a long time ago (I was able to recover the money, but definitely bad experience) and now my Antivirus is reporting every time they find out about a data breach on any site that uses my emails for login. My wife on the other hand doesn't care and tasked me to ensure her security as well. We share passwords but I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember / care about mine.
The situation is reversed on Social Media... she's super secure on that, while my profiles are pretty open. Every few years I do a cleaning and... it's quite the hassle.
How do you do it?
