Breakups are sad, but they happen. If you’re splitting (or know someone who is), don’t forget to lock down your digital life. You don’t need an ex accessing accounts later. 

To start, make a list of shared accounts. (Struggling? Check your browser’s saved passwords.) One by one, sign out of each account on every device, then change your passwords.

• Email: If your ex has your password, you logged in on their device or you shared an account or device, log out and change your password.
• Banking or other financial sites: Set up a new online account with your new bank account.
• Social media: Did you share your passwords or log in to Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter or other social media sites? Yes, change those passwords.
• Cloud storage: This includes access to your Apple, Google Drive, Dropbox and online backup accounts.
• Online shopping: Amazon is a must. Look through your last bank statements to remind yourself where else you have online accounts.

It’s easy to use and offers the best protection in the business. In fact, they’ve received the renowned VB100 award for detecting more than 99% of malware samples for the last three years in a row.

Not only do you get continuous protection from the latest threats, but their AI-driven service, WebShield, blocks dangerous websites automatically, stopping threats before they reach you. Plus, you can subscribe to data breach alerts and clear out old files with the Junk Cleaner.
