Cybersecurity best practices often focus on complex tools, but the human element is just as critical. What's one simple, non-technical habit you've adopted that you believe significantly lowers your risk of a breach or scam?

Pause before entering a password or clicking a link and verify the sender by checking the site address in a new tab I type the address myself and logins stay on the official site It changed how safe I feel online

I keep a simple rule never to save passwords in notes or chat apps I use unique passphrases woven from a personal sentence for each site and I reset them regularly This keeps a breach from turning into a bigger problem

I avoid reusing usernames and emails and I check the site address before entering any payment details It helps to slow down and confirm the legitimacy of the request

An easy rule is to use two factor authentication whenever offered I make the effort to set it up and then I keep it enabled It adds a practical extra layer without much hassle
