Online security advice usually swings between paranoia and ignorance. This guide finds the middle ground. A few straightforward practices — password managers, two-factor authentication, recognizing scams — provide the vast majority of real-world protection. No technical background needed. Just the basics, done well.
Online security advice tends toward extremes. On one side: alarming headlines about hackers, breaches, and identity theft. On the other: the vague sense that it's too technical, too complicated, something for IT professionals to worry about.
Most people land somewhere uncomfortable — vaguely anxious, but not doing much about it.
There's a middle path. A few straightforward practices provide the vast majority of real-world protection. You don't need to become a security expert. You don't need to be paranoid. You need to do the basics well.
