I just came across this checklist the other day: https://andrew-quinn.me/digital-resiliency-2025-checklist/

In addition to the short checklist, the author has a lengthy blog post describing its implementation in his life: https://andrew-quinn.me/digital-resiliency-2025/

A simple starting point for me was checking password reuse and enabling hardware-based 2FA everywhere possible. It’s surprising how much risk disappears just from that.

I’m wary ofhardware 2fa because I’m prone to losing things. Do you have a plan for if that happens?

I do nearly all my 2FA with Yubikeys, I carry one with me on my keychain and then I have another one in a safe as a backup.
