Set up a password manager and 2-step verification

Use this guide if you reuse passwords, keep them in a notebook or phone notes, or have had an account breached. Have your phone, your main email login and about an hour to work through your most important accounts.

Step by step

1. Choose a password manager

   Pick either the password manager built into your phone or browser, or a well-established dedicated password manager that works on all your devices. Check it can sync between your phone and computer and supports 2-step verification for its own login. Avoid little-known apps with few reviews or unclear ownership.
