Ready to start using passkeys?

First, you’ll need a password manager.

By default, your phone or laptop might offer to store your passkeys in your browser.

But here’s the catch: if you do, your secret isn’t so secret anymore—Google or Microsoft could have access to it.

The smarter move? Use a dedicated password manager.

I recommend 1Password, ProtonPass, or Bitwarden.

In this episode, we dive into why browser-based options fall short.

Why might a scammer want you to contact them? Which red flags in a reply should make you walk away? Episode summary The third item on our Safe Website Checklist is all about communication: Can You Get an Answer? Reputable shopping sites usually offer multiple clear ways to get in touch - a phone number, social media, and live chat - not just email. If those channels are missing, broken, or fake, that’s a big red flag. But even if you can reach someone, don’t let your guard down. Scammers can and do reply - sometimes quickly. The key is how they respond and whether it feels trustworthy. If you’re unsure, bring in your Protection Partner for a second opinion. Trust your gut, or as I call it, your spidey sense.

Episode summary Kem humbly shares his "epic fail" (his words, not mine!) story so we can all learn from his mistakes. As the story opens, Kem searches for a nice picture of Wellington, New Zealand for his wife's computer wallpaper. As he was speeding along, he accidentally clicked yes on a popup he shouldn't have, giving some malware backdoor access to his computer. As it tried to spread farther through another popup, he realized his mistake. Thankfully at that point with just a few minutes of effort, he was able to kick the malware out and shut the door. I love happy endings! A couple of days later, he took the time to document his story here to share with the world. Thank you, Kem! This was a powerful reminder that we all need to take time to Read the Signs. When we're driving, road signs are vital to our safety. On a computer, signs are also vital to our safety, including popups. We need to take time to learn what the signs mean so we can avoid the hidden dangers.

What are the two buckets of bad shopping websites? What are the two buckets of phishing websites? What is the first item on our "safe website" checklist? Episode summary A vital skill in staying safe while shopping online is knowing how to tell if a website is safe. You need to be on the watch for not only phishing sites, but scam websites too. We usually think of phishing websites as clones of specific websites, like gmail, where the objective is to steal your password. But with shopping, the objective of a phishing website is to gather as much personal information about you as they can, including your credit card. The first question on our safe website checklist is this: is the website less than a year old? If the answer to that question is yes, my advice is: run away, do not shop there, do not even browse there.

In order to have your own domain, you need to pay some money and share some personal information with a domain name registrar.

Why do I need more than one firewall? Which device already has a firewall enabled? What kinds of devices have an increased need for a firewall?

Your router has a firewall that blocks threats from the internet before they reach your home network. But what if the malware is already inside your network? For that, you need a firewall on each of your computers. These are especially vital for laptops, which often connect to public wifi. And here’s the secret weapon almost nobody talks about: outbound firewalls. They’re a unique and powerful extra layer of protection - and wildly underrated. Call to action Please verify that the firewall is turned on for each computer in your home.

Helpful episodes to listen to first Don't Answer the Phone Questions we answer in this episode What is a computer virus? How does a computer virus spread? How does patient (device) zero get infected?

Ready to start using passkeys? First, you’ll need a password manager. By default, your phone or laptop might offer to store your passkeys in your browser. But here’s the catch: if you do, your secret isn’t so secret anymore—Google or Microsoft could have access to it. The smarter move? Use a dedicated password manager. I recommend 1Password, ProtonPass, or Bitwarden. In this episode, we dive into why browser-based options fall short.
