Episode notes
Ditch Browser Passwords For A Manager
- Avoid using your browser to store passwords because they sit in near-plain text and are vulnerable if devices or accounts are compromised.
- Use a dedicated password manager that generates unique passwords, syncs across devices, and scans the dark web for breaches.
Pick Cross-Platform Password Tools
- Use a cross-platform password manager instead of platform-specific keychains to avoid being trapped in one ecosystem.
- Share logins securely and set up emergency access so trusted people can reach accounts if something happens to you.
Title Theft Often Happens Paper-First
- Home title theft can occur without physical break-ins via forged signatures filed at the county level.
- Victims often learn only after collection or foreclosure notices arrive, making proactive monitoring essential.
