Browser, password manager, 2FA, three-folder rule. The hygiene that saves your life.
Most adults can't say what an API is. Most adults also can't say what a server is, what a database is, or where their data lives. This costs them. Every time you sign up for an app, you give it your data, your time, and often your money — and you don't know who's holding what. This Mile is the basic literacy.
We also drill the hygiene that saves your life: a real password manager, two-factor authentication that isn't SMS, the Three-Folder Rule, and the SIFT method for spotting a lie online. By the end of the week your digital life is harder to break into than 95% of the population's.

The Hard Fence
