Quick tip of the day

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.

➡️ Head to my site for step-by-step instructions to remove anyone from your accounts.
