How you use a password manager varies slightly depending on which password manager you have. However, they all have similar functionality. To use a password manager, you first have to set your master password, set up your multi-factor authentication methods, export and import your current passwords, download the necessary apps and create new strong passwords for each of your accounts.

The term ‘passwordless’ is easy to wrap your head around (no passwords!) but is often used as an umbrella term that includes passkeys and magic links sent via email or text message.

Sending sensitive information over the internet is often necessary, despite the risks. You may need to send copies of your passport to validate your employment status at a new job, or you might need to send tax forms with your social security number to your accountant. How can you send this information without making it vulnerable to cybercriminals? Using a software platform that uses zero-knowledge encryption is the most secure way to share sensitive information and files.

Doxxing, also spelled doxing, is when a threat actor publishes Personally Identifiable Information (PII) about their target online. This can include publishing the target’s place of employment, home address, credit or debit card numbers and any other sensitive information. The purpose of the threat actor publishing another person’s PII varies, but most commonly has to do with harassment.

PayPal and Venmo are online platforms that let businesses and individuals send and receive payments. You can secure your PayPal or Venmo account by using a strong password, setting up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and using other security features available. Since these accounts handle financial transactions and sensitive information, they are common targets for cyberattacks.
