Network & Security

Secure your home WiFi network by changing the default admin login, using strong encryption, and setting a genuinely unique password before anyone else does.

Make a strong password by prioritizing length over complexity, using a passphrase or generator, and never reusing it across different accounts.

Reset a router the right way — understand the real difference between a simple restart and a full factory reset before you erase your settings.

Enable two-factor authentication the right way, choosing an authenticator app over SMS and saving your backup codes before you actually need them.

Set up and use a VPN correctly, and understand exactly what it protects and doesn’t — including why it doesn’t make you fully anonymous online.

Find your WiFi password from an already-connected device on Windows, Mac, or phone, or directly from the router itself if no connected device is available.

Clear browsing history in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge without clearing cookies — and stay signed into the sites you’re already logged into.

Delete cookies in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, and know exactly what to expect afterward — including why you’ll be signed out of most sites you use.
