Course Overview

What this course is designed to develop

This beginner course replaces reused, guessable passwords with a real defense system you can maintain. You will install and organize a password manager, generate unique credentials, enable phishing-resistant 2FA with apps and hardware keys, and learn to detect phishing and account-takeover attempts. By the end you run a documented routine that secures your email, finances, and business logins.
