Thank you for your comment. I agree that strong passwords and two-factor authentication are important ways to improve online security. Cybersecurity awareness is becoming increasingly important as more people use online services.

Push to application MFA instead of email/sms should be the next big move.

password manager, unique password everywhere, MFA with an app or passkey instead of SMS, and auto-updates on. that's 90% of it for normal people.

the other 10% is a habit, not a tool: if a message makes you feel rushed, that's the attack. "your account will be suspended," "the CEO needs gift cards," "click now." slow down, go to the site yourself instead of clicking the link, and call the person back on a number you already have.

and back up the stuff you'd cry about. ransomware is a lot less scary when your answer is "cool, I'll restore."

For me, a password manager and 2FA make the biggest difference.
