Accounts live inside households. Shared devices, shared passwords, family helpers, and old tablets all change the risk.
Household security includes:
- making sure each person has their own login where possible
- avoiding shared passwords for key accounts
- updating old devices
- locking screens on phones and tablets
- agreeing on who helps whom with accounts
This is where the course earns Level 3. It is not only about your personal setup. It is about preventing one weak household habit from exposing everyone.
A quick example: a family shares one email password because it is convenient. One person falls for a fake login page. Now the account that resets everything is exposed.
What to do:
- Separate critical logins wherever possible.
- Update and remove old unused devices.
- Decide how family help will work before a crisis happens.
