89. Email Workshop: Priority - Prevent Takeover
Published on: Nov 14, 2025
Episode summary
This may be the fourth priority in our email workshop, but it s truly #1 in importance: protecting your email account from takeover. Your email is the master key to all your online accounts. If you want to keep anything secure, you have to start here.
The good news? It doesn t take much. The first step is simple, but it s something most people still don t do: use a unique password. I'm not asking you to stop reusing passwords in general. For now, please just start by never reusing your email password - keep that one password unique to your email account.
After that, you should enable two-factor authentication for your account. Ideally through an authenticator app, not a text message to your phone.
There are a few more advanced steps depending on your situation, but if you have a strong, unique password and 2FA, you ve built a solid foundation for keeping your email - and everything it unlocks - safe.
