Protect your accounts
Learning goal: Apply password and verification habits to one account.
Using the same password on many sites makes one stolen password more damaging. A unique, long password for each important account reduces that risk. A trusted password manager can help you store them.
Multi-factor authentication adds an extra check beyond your password. An authenticator application or passkey is often preferable to a text message when supported by the service, though the best choice depends on access and recovery needs.
Never give a login verification code to someone contacting you unexpectedly. Review account recovery options while you still have access and keep them up to date.
Practice
Choose one important account. Check whether you use a unique password, whether multi-factor authentication is enabled and whether recovery information is current.
Do this privately, in a notebook or on your own device. Nothing you write is collected by this site.
