Lock Your Logins For Good — GhostNet Fundamentals Course 02

You secured your accounts. Now make sure no one can walk into them.

A strong password on one account means nothing if you've reused it across twelve others — and no two-factor authentication means a leaked password is all someone needs. Most people know this. Almost nobody has actually fixed it.

Lock Your Logins For Good closes that gap in one session. You'll pick and set up a password manager, migrate your critical accounts, switch on two-factor authentication where it counts most, and run six tests to prove every major login is genuinely locked — not just technically changed.

What's inside

The Decision Matrix — See exactly which accounts need a password manager and which need 2FA, prioritised by real risk. Done in under five minutes.

7 Clarity Scripts — Word-for-word what to do when setting up a manager, enabling 2FA, handling a recovery code, resetting a compromised login, or dealing with a locked account. Every scenario covered. The 60-Minute Plan — Timed, ordered tasks: manager chosen and installed, critical passwords migrated, 2FA live on your top accounts, recovery codes saved safely. Start to finish in one session.

6 Self-Tests — Prove every critical login is secured independently, with clear pass conditions. Including the test most people skip: verifying your recovery codes actually work before you need them.

What you'll know by the last page

Every major account protected by a unique, strong password stored in a manager — and your highest-risk accounts locked behind a second factor that a stolen password alone can't bypass. That's the login system most people never build.

Password manager vs 2FA — what's the difference?

This guide covers both, and explains exactly when each one matters:

Password manager — Generates and remembers a unique strong password for every account, so you never reuse one. One master password unlocks the vault.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) — A second check on top of your password. Even if someone steals your password, they still can't get in without your second factor.

Recovery codes — The backup when your second factor isn't available. The guide covers where to save them so they're secure but accessible when you need them.

Authenticator apps vs SMS — Not all 2FA is equal. The guide explains which type to use and why, without the jargon.

This course is right for you if:

You use the same password — or small variations of it — across multiple accounts

You don't have a password manager, or you have one but barely use it

You're not sure which of your accounts have 2FA switched on

You've saved passwords in your browser and aren't sure if that's safe

You wouldn't know what to do if you got locked out of a critical account
