Kim answers your questions

You asked and Kim answered! Got a question for Kim? Email her here.

What's the best way to back up all my devices?

Q: I want to back up everything on my computer, my phone and my laptop. What's the easiest way? I don't want to deal with an external hard drive. I'll just lose it, anyway.

A: Go with a cloud-based backup service. I'm sure you've heard me talk about backing up your computer with IDrive for years, and that's because it's the easiest, most affordable option to keep every document, photo and video safe. For less than $7 for your first year, you get 5 terabytes of cloud space.

You really can’t beat that price. Get your exclusive discount at IDrive.com and use promo code Kim at checkout.


Which VPN is the best?

Q: There are so many VPNs to choose from. How do I know which one to pick?

A: I've tried lots of options over the years — some good and some really bad. My favorite is ExpressVPN. It encrypts your data, keeps your online activity private and hides your location from prying eyes. All that without sacrificing speed. That’s why I love it!

Don’t just take my word for it. Try ExpressVPN free for 30 days, and get 3 months free when you sign up for a year at ExpressVPN.com/Kim.


I need a better solution for remembering passwords

Q: I write my passwords on a Post-it Note stuck to my monitor. I know that's dumb, but a password manager seems like a hassle. Is it really worth it? Who wants my passwords anyway?

A: Writing down your passwords isn't worth the risk! You never know who might get their hands on that Post-it and get access to all your accounts. Luckily, password managers make protecting yourself online really easy. Setup is a snap, and no more writing down passwords or hoping your remember them all. Check out RoboForm!
