App of the week 🤖 

1password is a password manager with a strong focus on security and ease-of-use. It's not just a password manager; it's a secure digital vault for passwords, credit cards, software licenses, and all things sensitive.

1Password puts authentication front and center. It's like adding an extra layer of defense, asking for more than just usernames and passwords. Read more about 1password and other password managers.

Tip of the week 💪

Use Two-factor authentication (2FA) for every important social media account.

Using two-factor authentication (2FA) significantly enhances the security of your online accounts by requiring a second form of verification beyond just a password, making it much harder for unauthorized users to gain access.

It protects against a variety of attacks, including phishing, social engineering, and password brute-force attacks, by adding an additional layer of defense that is difficult for attackers to bypass. Additionally, an 2FA app can provide peace of mind through the knowledge that your accounts are safer from intrusion, even if your password is somehow compromised.
