Digital Safety

  • Use a password manager; 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden, Dashlane..

  • Use 2-factor authentication whenever possible.

  • Use SSH-keys over passwords.

  • Use blocker extensions:

  • Use containers to separate major services from each other and the

    rest of the web, e.g. (Firefox Multi-Account Containers)

  • Secure local (development) web servers with a login and restrictive CORS permissions. (why?)

  • Never leave devices unattended.

  • Never use untrusted peripherals such as USB-sticks, keyboards and mice.

  • Use open and portable formats such as txt and csv over closed and

    proprietary formats such as doc and numbers whenever possible.

  • Use open source software like Vim and Gimp over proprietary software like

    Word and Photoshop whenever possible.
