Episode notes

password managers store all your information, and they can help create passwords for you. Two factor authentication is a second layer of security that protects against hackers who want to steal or sell your data. Go talk to your parents, or any of your close friends and relatives about setting up digital security. You'll be surprised by how many people who have not set this stuff up.

We're all familiar with how to increase physical security – locking our doors, paying attention to our surroundings, putting valuables in a safe, etc. – but what about our digital security?

With an increasingly digital world comes a less perceptible risk – the risk of having your information hacked and exploited by someone with whom you will never see or interact.

In this episode, Steph and Cal explore the basics of digital security, the risks involved, where many people go wrong, and what you should consider doing at a minimum to move from "at-risk" to "safer" with your digital information.
