How to lock up your digital life and privacy in an hour (in pictures)


If you have some additional time to spare, you can also take the time to set up a secondary email address. When signing up for online services, you are sometimes asked to receive third-party information and will be added to subscriber lists. To help keep your inbox clear, it may be worth setting up a free account to keep these message volumes under control.

For a more extensive privacy boost, it may also be worth the time to setup an email address left wholly unconnected with you purely for accounts which need your financial information, such as Amazon, delivery services, and online banking. That way, should your main email account become compromised, you are keeping the financial keys away.
