Everything up to here made you fast. Your files are organized, your shortcuts are muscle memory, your browser is clean, your distractions are silenced. But speed without security is a house of cards. These next chapters protect the system you just built.
You have somewhere between 50 and 200 online accounts. Banking, shopping, social media, streaming, government, insurance, utilities. Every one of them has a password.

Let’s fix this properly.
