if O2 has a million haters I'm one of them. If O2 has a hundred haters I'm one of them. If O2 has one hater it's me. If O2 has 0 haters I am dead. If the world is against O2 I am with the world, if the world is for O2 I am against the world.

Friendly neighborhood tech support cryptid here with today's advice:
Do not use your school or work email to sign up for things, unless they are specifically school or work related.
This is not a "they are watching you" thing, although with your work email there's an element of that, it's a "you might not have access to this email later" thing.
Your best bet is to open two gmail (or any other long-standing free email) accounts. One, you use to sign up for stuff. The other you use to talk to people. You may occasionally use the first to talk to companies, but it's going to fill up with spam soooo goddamn fast-- even just from the people you signed up for.
But the point is that this email address will be available if you drop out/quit, get kicked out/fired, or graduate. Yes, I know a lot of colleges give free email for life to alumni. That can change, especially as most of those colleges haven't thought about the server/storage costs of such a promise in perpetuity. If you do have such an email, you'll want to sign into it regularly, if only too see if the school has sent you a notice explaining what you need to do to keep this email, and what date you need to do it by, and how apathetic they're going to be if you didn't read it and lost the email.
You can't reset the password for an email you can't access, so don't provide an email that can be taken away from you with little or no notice. (When I got laid off from my job at a fortune 500 company, I had twenty minutes before they shut off my email.)
I would say 5% of the calls I take are people who desperately need access to an email that no longer exists, because they signed up for something important with it, and now they can't reset their password.
(And don't use your phone number if someone else is paying for the phone. Maaaaybe if it's your parents, and you're really cool with them, and you know they're going to let you take the number if you get your own plan.)

Let me tell you how I just almost lost this account forever-
I went to check tumblr only to notice that it had forced logged me out on desktop. So I enter my email to log in...no dice. Then I think to myself "well it's probably my college email then, surprised I hadn't changed it over." No dice again. I then think to check on the mobile app what the email was. Bingo! It was my long dead middle school/high school era email. I tried that email and my password I had written down for tumblr...no dice Again. Now I start to panic. I start trying other passwords, nothing is working. Then Down From The Heavens Descend Into My Mind: the memory of my old universal password for everything when I was kid. Bingo, I'm back into tumblr. I have no earthly idea why I was using *that* password here or why it doesn't match my notes but whatever. Hacker voice, I'm in...
So I go to update the password to what I had written down so this doesn't happen again. I do this on the mobile app for Some Fucking Idiot Reason...and it doesn't ask me to input it a second time to make sure it's right...and then the app force logs me out.............and I try to log back in....I Fucking Mistyped The Password. I could literally start to feel my heart pumping and my ears get really warm with panic at the realization I might've just lost my decade+ old tumblr account because a basic password reset feature apparently doesn't exist on this site. I went to go report this issue to Tumblr Support and ask them to recover my account. However, I need to provide the email this account is attached to... and I don't have access to that, so support is just a worthless route...and then I realized going to submit a fucking support ticket logs you out. So now I was logged out on both app and desktop. Literally beside myself. Broken ass website, deadass wondering if anyone tests this place. I go to recover the email this account is attached to. Then gmail does me so dirty, it says to me "to recover this email, you need a security code sent to your elementary school era email." At this point, I'm ready to just cry. So I go to crack into that email and BECAUSE I HAD REMEMBERED MY OLD UNIVERSAL PASSWORD AND CUZ SHIT LIKE 2 FACTOR JUST WASN'T A THING WHEN I MADE THAT EMAIL, I GOT IN So then I had to fuckin' recover and reinstate the middle school email from my elementary school, recover my tumblr account and reset the password *again* (this time on desktop and not the fucking app) and make sure this account was set to my up to date email and just.....y'all, if my memory didn't just shit out my childhood universal password at me, I deadass would have lost this account forever. All because desktop just randomly decided to log me out. I hate social media.

Public Library of Ruina - Yesod
I still dither a little about Yesod. He's either Information Technology, Information Services, or both. Both feels a little self-indulgent, but it's kind of what I want.
Information Technology is basically regular IT-- have you tried turning it off and back on again. The library doesn't add a huge amount to that-- more databases, a website, shitty civic budget, unpredictable public users. You're gonna replace a lot of keyboards. (You should probably take the ones where people rearranged the keys into swear words out of service. Or at least fix them first.)
Information Services is, at this point, extroverted IT. Back in the day, this was the department that specialized in "reference" questions-- the weird stuff. People would ask librarians for all sorts of weird facts in the pre-google days. It does still happen, but less and less every year as search engines become ubiquitous and the people who remember that was a thing slowly die off. Still, reference will never completely die. People are always going to come to libraries with weird questions; that's kind of the point.
So why am I calling it extroverted IT? Because that's the primary function. There's the fairly obvious part-- people sometimes need help searching the catalogue or reading e-books. But here's the less obvious part. Myrtle has a new laptop, but she's not sure how to do anything with it and her kids all live hours away. Who's she going to call? Who can help people learn how to use technology? Without many other options, the answer frequently is-- the library.
Think everyone has a cell phone? Ask a public librarian. We know there are still plenty of people without a phone or with a secondhand POS with no sim card. Curious what happens if someone can't remember their gmail password? If you're prepared to deal with a post-traumatic response, ask a public librarian. Have you ever tried to help someone with no available cell phone recover their google account? It would probably save a lot of time if we could just tell them at the start they're SOL. But maybe they can remember the password, and technically there's a reset function that might work in a few days if you're approved.... Fun times when you're dealing with an upset person who can barely type on a good day and has just lost a ton of personally valuable and literally valuable information, probably forever. Think 2-factor authentication is great? It sure is, if you have a second factor. We have a list of free email sites that don't require you to already have an email address or a cell phone. It's hella short. And we took one off cause it was too Russian. Protonmail is a good bet if you can remember passwords. Which is a significant if. Some people just can't. Which is OK if you can save them on your computer. Oh, you don't have one and you have to use public devices all the time? Well, write it down and hope it doesn't get stolen and that you can remember which one is which. (Have you already guessed that sometimes people ask librarians to remember their passwords for them?)
In short, the library also serves as a public IT department, for services and devices it has zero control over.
Whether he's internal or public IT support, Yesod is also going to snap. Though, he will also have access to an abnormality that can affect people outside the library, which is a nontrivial perk. He will use it exclusively on vendors. I am hoping some of his bullets bend space and time to successfully hit whatever asshats decided it was OK to build the entire backbone of library ebook lending on Adobe Fucking Digital Editions, an old ass program with literally zero support. It would seem impossible for them to still be shackled to it in the City, but it also seems impossible that we're still shackled to it now, so I'm pretty sure the ultimate capitalist dystopia couldn't let it die.
Hmm? My specialty? I'm a reference librarian. Why do you ask?

Gmail-connected sites help? You know how a lot of sites let you sign in with your Gmail? My mom has the actual websites' passwords saved in her phone but anytime the Internet sees that her account is through google, it makes her log in with her GMAIL password instead of her OG saved password she came up with for that website. Mostly she remembers, but when she forgets, she resets her GMAIL password as THAT SITE'S password, and then she can get in the site but now she's locked out of gmail and has to reset her gmail. And then another site makes her sign in using the gmail password. And maybe she'll remember, maybe not. If not, then this whole chain happens again.

“Password1234”: Tulsi Gabbard’s Login
Tumblr media
“Password1234”: How Tulsi Gabbard’s Login Habits Nearly Triggered a Hawaiian Missile Crisis 2.0
The National Security Threat of Reusing Your Ex-Boyfriend’s Name As a Password When “Aloha” Meets “Access Denied” In a shocking exposé that shook no one except the IT guy named Carl, The Daily Beast revealed that Tulsi Gabbard—a congresswoman, veteran, spiritual warrior, and occasional surfer—had apparently been using passwords that could be cracked by a caffeinated squirrel with an iPhone 4. According to leaked reports, her online security strategy was a combination of horoscope advice, yoga poses, and pure vibes. And yet, somehow, the nation remained standing. So we ask the vital question: What happens when the nuclear codes are one password reset question away from “What was your first pet’s name?” “She thought two-factor authentication meant having a backup horoscope.” — Ron White Let’s dive into the browser history of this satirical scandal.
“Tulsi2020!” Isn’t Just a Campaign Slogan, It’s Also Her Netflix Password
Gabbard’s Surfboard Contains More Encryption Than Her Laptop Tulsi Gabbard ran for president in 2020. Apparently, she also ran out of original password ideas in the same year. According to a cybersecurity leak no one asked for, Gabbard used “Tulsi2020!” across at least seven platforms—including MyFitnessPal, Dropbox, LinkedIn, and a suspicious site called “WarriorMonkDating.com.” What’s worse? She added the exclamation point thinking it was military-grade encryption. “It’s like putting a sticker over a webcam and calling it cybersecurity,” said retired NSA analyst and part-time laser tag champion Ron Skelton.
The Yoga of Password Management: Sun Salutations and Synced Devices
Sources close to Gabbard say she once attended a cybersecurity retreat in Maui, where instead of encryption, participants were taught to breathe deeply while entering their debit card numbers into public Wi-Fi. She later described it as “a transformative experience where I learned to align my chakras and my bank logins.” One witness described Gabbard’s “password flow” routine: First, she logs in with “namaste123” Then does downward dog while waiting for two-factor authentication And finally logs out by whispering “Aloha” to the server
The Cybercrime Wave: Russian Hackers, Meet “Password1234”
By 2017, her accounts were part of a larger leak that included over 3 billion records. Her contribution to this vast archive of human carelessness? Password: Tulsi123 Backup Password: Password1234 Security Question: “What’s your favorite color?” Answer: “YES” “It’s the cybersecurity equivalent of leaving your keys in your car with a note that says ‘Steal me, but with love,’” explained digital security expert Cliff “BitByte” Hernandez.
Gmail, Glam, and Glitches: Tulsi’s Digital Footprint is Wearing Flip-Flops
Among the compromised accounts was her Gmail, which—according to leaked metadata—was 70% promotional emails, 20% requests to appear on obscure podcasts, and 10% fan mail written entirely in binary. One intern who sorted through the compromised messages said: “There were multiple drafts of her resignation letter, all saved as ‘resignation_final_FINAL_FOR_REAL.docx’”
Exclusive: Her Two-Factor Authentication Was a Friendship Bracelet
Tech insiders were horrified to discover Tulsi’s idea of 2FA wasn’t a confirmation code—it was “texting her cousin Jaya to see if it was really her logging in.” On multiple occasions, hackers were stopped not by firewalls but by confusion when Jaya replied, “Is this for the yoga class or the kombucha group chat?” “Her defense strategy relied heavily on poor communication,” one cybersecurity consultant laughed while installing malware protection for his mom.
Even Her iCloud Had a Tan
A trove of iCloud data included: 400 nearly identical selfies from the Senate gym A playlist titled “Legislative Bangers” Several videos of her dog doing warrior poses next to a salt lamp According to unverified rumors, a hacker group named “404Bros” tried to ransom the data, but after seeing the contents, sent a formal apology and a $15 iTunes gift card.
LinkedIn Recommendations Written by... Herself
One of the strangest discoveries in the leak? Tulsi had endorsed herself on LinkedIn for: Strategic Visioning Yogic Thought Leadership Military Telepathy Surf Diplomacy “That’s not even a real thing,” said career coach Sheila Plonk.“But I’d still hire her for the vibe.”
Ancestral Passwords and a Trail of Spiritual Cookies
Insiders say Gabbard once consulted her past-life regression therapist for password inspiration. She emerged from the session convinced her soul password was “CleopatraLives9.” She later told “Stars & Data Protection Weekly”:“We must be as secure in our online lives as we are in our truth. Unless Mercury is in retrograde, then all bets are off.”
“Don’t Blame Me, I’m a Vet” Becomes New Security Phrase
Tulsi’s go-to deflection when asked about her weak passwords?“I served this country, dammit. Let me have one unencrypted yoga blog.” Critics note this is the digital equivalent of a politician speeding through a red light and shouting, “I was in ‘The Amazing Race: Congress Edition’—I know what I’m doing.”
Eye Witness Account: Hacker Testimony from His Mom’s Basement
One teenage hacker who cracked her Dropbox said: “Honestly, I was trying to hack Roblox. But when I typed ‘Tulsi’ and ‘123,’ I accidentally got her Whole Foods receipts and a bunch of PDFs labeled ‘The Real Truth.’” He has since retired and now teaches online safety at a community center in Delaware.
The FBI’s Official Response: “We’re Too Tired for This”
An internal memo from the Bureau reportedly read: “We spent three weeks untangling this woman’s security habits. At one point, she used a Haiku as her encryption key.” Her defense?“Syllables are the safest language.”
Political Repercussions: Senators Now Forced to Change “Obama2024” to “Obama2025?”
Following the leak, Congress issued new password requirements: No campaign slogans No personal affirmations No references to enlightenment As one Republican aide lamented:“Guess I’ll have to change ‘ReaganLives’ to ‘TaxCutz4Life!’”
What the Funny People Are Saying
“Tulsi's passwords were so bad, even her spirit animal logged out.”— Sarah Silverman “Hackers were like, ‘We don’t want her emails. We just want her to stop using ‘Namaste69.’”— Dave Chappelle “Her Dropbox was 90% surfboard selfies and 10% blurry screenshots of UFOs.”— Trevor Noah “I haven’t seen this many security holes since my grandma’s knitting project.”— Jerry Seinfeld “At this point, she’s just daring China to log in.”— Chris Rock
Her Yoga App is Still Logged In on Eight Public Devices
Eyewitnesses at a Honolulu smoothie bar confirmed they could still access Tulsi’s meditation schedule, her list of mantras, and a half-written memoir titled “Shiva, Surfing & Senate Committees.” “She’s logged in on the juicer,” one barista sighed.“We know when she’s late to Pilates. The blender just starts chanting.”
Final Thoughts: It’s Not Just About Tulsi—It’s About Us
Let’s not throw our encryption stones from glass iPhones. Who among us hasn’t: Reused a password from 8th grade? Used their dog’s name and added “123”? Logged into Wi-Fi named “FBI Surveillance Van”? Tulsi’s mistakes are a national metaphor: We all want to be free spirits until someone hacks our Hulu queue.
Public Opinion Poll: What Do Voters Think?
Conducted by Spintaxi Institute for Hilarious Policy Studies“Which of the following would make a stronger password than Tulsi’s current one?” “MyExSucks42” – 37% “!@$%&” – 22% “IamTheRealPOTUS” – 18% “Password1234ButWithVibes” – 13% “HunterBidenLaptop2025” – 10%
Actionable Advice: From SpinTaxi’s Chief Tech Guru, Bleepy VonFirewall
1. Never reuse passwords. Even if they contain the word “chakra.”2. Don’t rely on your cousin for 2FA unless she’s a Navy SEAL or works at Apple.3. Your ex’s nickname is not secure just because you added a symbol.4. Enlightenment is not a firewall.5. If your password is a pun, you’ve already been hacked.
Conclusion: What Have We Learned?
We’ve learned that no matter how confident, intelligent, or mystically inclined you are, the moment you type “Tulsi2020!” into seven websites, you are officially the cybersecurity version of wearing socks with sandals. But in a world where digital threats grow daily, Tulsi’s spiritual approach to password management is a gentle reminder:The only thing worse than hackers… is hubris. And now, if you’ll excuse us, we have to go change our Netflix login from “SpinTaxiRocks69.”

Tulsi Gabbard Named Honorary IT Disaster of the Month by the Geek Squad
Here are 15 observations inspired by the recent revelations about Tulsi Gabbard's password habits: Password123? Even my grandma knows better. Reusing passwords is like using the same key for your house, car, and office—convenient until it's not. 'Shraddha' as a password? Might as well have used 'OpenSesame'. MyFitnessPal account hacked? Guess someone wanted to know her calorie intake. Fox News Dropbox breach? Hope there weren't any dance videos in there.The Daily Beast LinkedIn compromised? Now everyone knows she endorsed herself. Using the same password since 2012? That's commitment—or laziness. No evidence of government accounts being compromised. Phew! National secrets are safe... for now. Signal group chat leak? Maybe it's time to switch to smoke signals. HauteLook account hacked? Someone's getting fashion tips on the sly. Gmail breach? Hope those cat memes weren't classified.The Daily Beast Reusing passwords is a no-no. Even toddlers have unique passcodes for their iPads. Cybersecurity 101: Don't do what Tulsi did. Seriously. Википедия — свободная энциклопедия At least she didn't write her password on a sticky note... or did she? We may never know.   Lesson learned: Always use two-factor authentication. Or better yet, three. For more details on this story, you can read the full article here: Tulsi Gabbard's 'Easily Cracked' Password Habits Revealed. Read the full article

Internet security is a complicated thing to talk about. It is something both business owners and average users are concerned about.  The more developers work on the security problems, the more hackers, and cybercriminals try to solve them. It is a vicious circle. But it doesn't mean you do not have to protect your private or business data even knowing that there is no such website or program which can't be hacked sometime. Statistics show that cybercriminals equally target both smaller and bigger businesses, making IT security the key to the company's stability and productivity. Serious cyber attacks are not chaotic or single. Usually, it is a set of programs, which target several companies in one industry at once. If you don't believe that the hackers can paralyze the work of the whole company, try not to use any program or service for the protection of your data.  But we don't recommend even thinking about it. Of course, if you don't want to lose the amount of work you have already done and the money you have already earned. So, what can you do to prevent your business from being hacked by cybercriminals? The first and the most basic IT security step is getting the best FREE VPN service for your website and banking operations at least. The importance of VPN services results from their ability to encrypt the connection between your PC/laptop/smartphone and the Internet, which makes it invisible to hackers. But what else can you do to protect your personal and professional information? IT Security Solutions There are some differences between what average users and professionals do to protect their data from hacking. For example, average users consider antivirus software and strong passwords to be enough. While professional IT security experts consider installing software updates and using unique passwords to be far more important for your data. There are a lot of other critical things you probably do wrong when it comes to the security of your professional and personal information. So, let's have a look how it should be done correctly. Professional Tips on Internet Security First of all, let's mention one misunderstanding most Apple users have.  "Apple can't be hacked. It's secure enough without an additional protection."  That's not the truth. Even Apple products can be hacked. Not so easily as others but still they can be hacked. Apple is just doing a better job when it comes to security issues. And now we can officially skip to those basic steps you can do to protect your online business from being paralyzed by hackers. Use Two-factor authentication Two-factor authentication instead of changing your password every two months. This concerns most of your daily accounts like Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, Amazon, etc.  Among all of these accounts, highlight your email account. As it is one the most important ones. If a hacker owns your email account, he'll probably own other services. He can reset all other passwords just using this email address. Two-factor authentication is something, which can prevent this from happening. Dealing with suspicious links Confirm suspicious links but do not click on them. This will show you where the link goes. Based on this you can decide whether to click on that link or not. And don't forget to check the sender's email address too. Backups  Using a backup tool is a good starting point for any business when it comes to security. Having a good backup, which is not connected to your machine is very important. Try offline backups as one of the first steps while figuring out which security strategy is more suitable for you. Train your team  A lot of cyber attacks happen because of the employees who click on the malicious links or websites. So, it would be a smart move to provide your employees with the key principles and rules of the company's IT security policy. Contact a security specialist Today, you have a choice between contacting a security specialist for any IT recommendations
on security issues or to hire a provider, which specializes in cybersecurity on a daily basis. It is a good outsourcing step, which gives you the ability to cover all online security gaps at once. This will save your time and money. Let IT specialists monitor the security of your business. Make a security review It is very useful to make a full security review of your passwords, access to them, backups, and testing every couple of months. Analyze the results you get and find out if your IT security system has any gaps. Consult an expert. This is what you can do to protect your business and personal data online. And what is your number one thing to protect the company on the Internet?

I do not understand how so many of my customer base cannot tell the difference between being in their email and being on a web browser. like. I just....so many arguments 'I am on Google!" "No that's just the Gmail app". watched a woman spend a solid 30 minutes cursing trying to reset her password and couldn't not comprehend that she had to check her email for the password reset link 😞

If you set a password policy that regularly expires passwords and checks if new passwords are too similar (not the same) as any number of previous passwords... you're an idiot, should be fired, and should never be allowed near computer security or any job where you set rules again.
You set this kind of policy? You have now potentially exposed the password in transit to your server, exposed it by keeping it on your server (whether encrypted or not), and you guaranteed that your users will use a password manager, write it down, or reset their password frequently which means you're now dependent on how secure gmail is and how well they avoid phishing, which is one of the actual most common ways that your accounts get broken in to. You've also likely guaranteed password reuse and attempts to use a simple pattern (e.g. password1, password2...).
Know how to stop a brute force attack? Put a fucking rate limit on password tries and institute temporary lockouts. Enforce minimum lengths. Check for dictionary attacks.

Securing Email Accounts: A Practical Guide to Protecting Your Online Identity
Tumblr media
Your email account is the gateway to your digital life. Think about it: almost every online account you have is tied to your email. This makes securing your email one of the most critical steps in protecting yourself from cyberattacks, fraud, and identity theft.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through actionable tips to secure your email accounts and keep them safe from hackers and other online threats.
Why Is Email Security So Important?
Email isn’t just for communication anymore. It holds sensitive information like:
Password reset links for other accounts
Personal and financial details
Business or work-related information
If a hacker gains access to your email, they could reset passwords for your online accounts, steal sensitive data, or even commit fraud in your name.
Common Threats to Email Security
1. Phishing Attacks
Phishing emails are fake messages designed to steal your login credentials or sensitive information. They often appear to come from trusted sources like your bank or email provider.
2. Weak Passwords
Passwords like “123456” or “password” make it easy for hackers to break in. Weak passwords are one of the most common causes of email breaches.
3. Malware and Spyware
Clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown attachments can install malware that captures your login details.
4. Public Wi-Fi Risks
Accessing your email on unsecured public Wi-Fi can expose your data to hackers using the same network.
5. Lack of Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Without 2FA, a hacker only needs your password to access your email.
How to Secure Your Email Account
1. Use a Strong and Unique Password
Your password is your first line of defense. Here’s how to make it strong:
Use at least 12 characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols.
Avoid using personal information like birthdays or names.
Use a unique password for each account.
If you find it hard to remember complex passwords, use a password manager to store them securely.
2. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone. Most email providers offer this feature, and it’s easy to set up.
3. Beware of Phishing Emails
Never click on links or download attachments from unknown senders.
Double-check the sender’s email address for inconsistencies.
If an email claims to be from your bank or a service provider, visit their official website directly instead of clicking on links in the email.
4. Secure Your Recovery Options
Ensure your recovery email and phone number are up-to-date. This will help you regain access if you’re locked out of your account.
5. Avoid Public Wi-Fi
When checking your email on public Wi-Fi, use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to encrypt your connection. This prevents hackers from intercepting your data.
6. Regularly Update Your Security Settings
Check your email account settings periodically:
Review connected devices and log out of those you don’t recognize.
Update security questions to avoid answers easily guessed from your social media profiles.
7. Monitor Your Email Activity
Many email services allow you to view your recent login activity. Check for unfamiliar locations or devices and secure your account immediately if you spot anything suspicious.
8. Use Encryption
Encryption ensures that your email messages can only be read by the intended recipient. Some email providers like ProtonMail offer end-to-end encryption by default.
9. Keep Software Updated
Outdated browsers or email apps can have vulnerabilities. Always use the latest version of your email app, operating system, and browser.
10. Use a Secure Email Provider
Consider switching to an email provider known for its robust security features, such as Gmail, ProtonMail, or Outlook.
What to Do If Your Email Is Compromised
Even with precautions, email breaches can happen. Here’s what to do:
Change Your Password Immediately Make it strong and unique. If you can’t log in, use the recovery options to regain access.
Enable 2FA If it wasn’t already active, turn it on as soon as you regain control of your account.
Check for Forwarding Rules Hackers often set up forwarding rules to receive copies of your emails. Delete any rules you didn’t create.
Review Connected Accounts Update passwords for any online accounts linked to your email.
Contact Your Email Provider Report the breach and follow their guidance for securing your account.
Best Practices for Long-Term Email Security
Regularly change your email password.
Avoid sharing your email address on public forums.
Don’t reuse old passwords for other accounts.
Use different email accounts for personal and business purposes.
Conclusion
Your email account is a treasure trove of information, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. By following these steps—using strong passwords, enabling 2FA, and staying vigilant—you can significantly reduce the risk of an email breach. Remember, a secure email account means a safer online experience overall.
FAQs
1. How often should I change my email password? Change your email password every 3–6 months, or immediately if you suspect a breach.
2. Is it safe to use public Wi-Fi for email? It’s risky to use public Wi-Fi without a VPN. Hackers can intercept your data on unsecured networks.
3. What is two-factor authentication (2FA)? 2FA requires a second verification step, like a code sent to your phone, making it harder for hackers to access your account.
4. Can a password manager help with email security? Yes, password managers store and generate strong, unique passwords for each account, reducing the risk of breaches.
5. What should I do if I suspect phishing? Delete the email immediately, don’t click on any links, and report it to your email provider.

How to Reset Your Gmail Password
There are several ways to reset your Gmail account password. The first method we'll cover is the simpler option that works if you can't log in because you forgot your password.
Go to the Gmail login page, enter your email address and click Forgot Password.
Enter the last password you remember, then click Next. Note that this does not necessarily have to be your current password. Any previous credentials for this account will allow you to proceed to the next step.
Now check your backup email. You are looking for an email with a 6-digit verification code. Note: A backup email or recovery email is an email that you have added to your account.
Now enter the 6-digit code in the corresponding field on the Gmail website.
Assuming the code worked, you can now reset your password. If this method doesn't work for you, it's time to go through the account recovery process. We'll cover that in the next section.
