Last Friday I published my second Cybersecurity Friday post with three more key steps for cybersecurity. In summary:
1. Different email address for each account, AKA email masking. Use or create a different email alias for each service you sign-up for.
2. Different password for each account. This is a well known security technique against credential stuffing attacks.
3. Use a password manager to autofill. Always using a password manager to autofill your login username (or email) and password can be a very effective method of reducing the chances of being phished.

Last week I published my first Cybersecurity Friday post with three key steps for indieweb cybersecurity. In summary:
1. Email MFA/2FA. Add multi-factor authentication (sometimes called two-factor authentication) to everywhere you store or check email. Do not use phone/cell numbers.
2. Domain Registrar MFA. Add multi-factor authentication to your domain registrar account.
3. Web Host MFA. Same for your web host and any intermediate name servers (DNS) or content delivery network (CDN) service accounts.
