Security & backups

Security at home has two sides: the home itself and your own data. This category covers both — video doorbells and cameras including what is permitted towards neighbouring properties, alarms and presence simulation, strong passwords and password managers, two-factor authentication, recognising fraud attempts by email and phone, and protecting children and older relatives from scams. Added to this are backups: which photos and documents you would really miss, how to back them up automatically, and how to check that a backup works when it matters. We explain the steps calmly and without jargon, with clear recommendations for everyday use. We additionally explain what to do in an emergency: account locked, device lost, data accidentally deleted — calmly, step by step.
