Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions, honest answers

Check sender email address carefully for misspellings. Hover over links showing actual destination before clicking. Look for urgency demanding immediate action. Legitimate organizations never ask passwords via email. Contact company directly using known phone number not email links.
No. Password reuse means one breach compromises all accounts. Use password manager creating unique strong passwords for each site. Password managers remember passwords so you do not need to.
Basic online safety training takes 1-2 hours covering essential protections. Comprehensive training including password managers and advanced topics takes 3-4 hours. Training adapts to your current knowledge and concerns.
