- Four Methods to Create a Secure Password You'll Actually Remember
- How to Create a Strong Password (and Remember It)
- Use a password manager such as Bitwarden

- Don't save passwords to your browser: Erase the entire password cache once you set up a password manager.
- Remove bloatware from Android (without root)
- What are 5-eyes, 9-eyes, and 14-eyes?

- What is DNS and why should I change it? I think it's common sense to not use Google Public DNS; I use and recommend Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1. Use DNSPerf to see which one is fastest for you (Google ranks 4th and Cloudflare ranks 1st at time of writing this).
