Yeahhh kinda seems like a medical thing you should talk to a doctor.

i mean alias emails have been a thing for a while now so i don’t really see a problem with your approach

Are you asking whether you should use grapheneos, your fitbit or a second phone for banking?

Mull on mobile, mullvad and Firefox on desktop

Yup Veracrypt is great even has a portable version that can be kept on the drive (might still need admin privileges though) so you won’t have to install it on the system iirc . Would also go with cryptomator if you plan on using it with mobile systems but it has a one time payment for mobile.

Dang I’m interested too. I opted to just stick on a highly reflective sticker which works for me but interested to see what others have in mind

Its really a preference thing for convenience. You’ll still have both your password manager and 2fa on the same device either way. Aegis on another device or user profile is my preferred way if security is a must

Just a tad bit confused are you trying to back them up or keep your bookmarks synced across different browsers/devices? I’m a bit slow today, haha

Just to add on what you want is the 3,2,1 method of backing up. You’re asking for trouble if you just rely on cloud storage for anything that important. Export your TOTP seeds or copy your 8-10 generated OTPs. If shit hits the fan you’ll be able to use a TOTP generator or a password manager that has one built in to get your codes.

The first major step is a tracker and ad blocker (DNS based, software or even both) a VPN could help with this since some do offer to block trackers and ads. Everything else is pretty secondary imo and depends on your threat model

Damn this one is tough my best guess LJ is like how the manufacturer tracks it internally or something like that and the 349 could be like eat before the 349th day of that year. Again this is just a guess probably contact the manufacturer to be 100% clear what that means.

A hell of a deal

Its been a while since I last checked the forums but iirc no. Best you can do is set up automatic reboot in order for it to be in it’s most encrypted state after a specified time period again this info might be dated. My personal method is setting up a going out profile with the bare necessities with a weaker passcode and relying on a passphrase on my main user profile if it is found by a good person both the profiles have my burner email as a note on the lockscreen if they want to contact me.

Besides ublock origin like the other posted stated your biggest scam threats would be coming from social media websites, Facebook or meta whatever its called and email being the biggest. Since I assume you can’t monitor her 24/7 and she’s an active user, setting up some kind of DNS solution and firewall on your network, you managing her passwords and 2fa via hardware, setting up a non admin local account for windows and maybe some kind of easy reference material like pictures with text in a booklet should be used also. Assuming she’s still sound of mind

Edit: as for the phone portion of the question it really depends on how much media do you want her exposed to? You can make a pretty dumb phone via grapheneos and install the games she plays normally (network access restricted of course) with automatic updates. But if she uses social media, messaging apps and other apps like that maybe an iPhone would be easier and simpler for her. At that point you will have to rely on your network solutions, you managing her account credentials, bank included, and the reference material to protect her from scams

That’s a solid point I also know some people that use those services so this will help me too

Honestly didn’t even think about that. I usually use my work phone number for that purpose and if I get close to them then my personal/signal. You’re so right though a very good addition

Wouldn’t the light also wake the wife up

Damn that is genius

I rather buy used ssds off eBay from a known brand.

No worries honest mistake their names are really similar, haha. Check it out its on android its like a hardened Firefox
