Why this guide, and why now

We live in uncertain times. Scams and account theft are rising, and power cuts, storms or a situation like COVID-19 can leave a household on its own for a few days.

Being prepared does not take much: a few settings on your phone and accounts, and a few things kept at home. This guide shows you which ones, in plain words, one step at a time. It is free.

What is inside

  • Security steps in three levels, with the exact taps for iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows where it matters
  • Everyday habits against scams and phone theft
  • A home kit list, sized to your household, with what each item is for
  • What to do when something goes wrong
  • Coming next: short news updates on what to watch for, by topic
