Security Tip of the Day

Turn on two-factor authentication with an authenticator app for your email today — it blocks most account takeovers even if your password leaks.

A new tip every day — come back tomorrow.

Is This Link Safe?

Paste any suspicious link before you click it — the checker runs entirely in your browser and the link is never sent anywhere.


Basic check only — a clean result does not guarantee a link is safe. Open the full checker →

30-Second Security Check

3 questions — find your real security level, and start with your first fix.

1. Do you use the same password on many accounts?

2. Is 2FA on for your main accounts (email, bank)?

3. Do you check a link before you click it?
