Step by step
- 01
Install an authenticator app
Use Authy, 1Password or Google Authenticator. Avoid SMS where possible.
- 02
Turn it on for your email
Email = master key. Lose it, lose everything. Start here.
- 03
Then payment + domains
Stripe, PayPal, your registrar, your hosting.
- 04
Then site builders + social
Squarespace, Wix, WordPress, Meta Business.
- 05
Save backup codes offline
Print them or store in a password manager — not in plain text on your desktop.
