Conversations about consumer data privacy grow louder each year, with the news headlines to match. Trust in the technology sector is now at an all-time low and customers are increasingly concerned about the privacy of their personal information. It’s become a serious topic that all business owners need to follow, not just security specialists and tech bloggers.
A digital declutter helps you organize your life and has the added bonus of reducing your vulnerability to common threats. But knowing where to begin can be hard – most of us leave a larger digital footprint than we realize. We’ve created a checklist to help you clear away the clutter and reap the rewards of a clean digital state.
For the average person, “traditional hacking” isn’t really an ever-present threat. It’s unlikely that a hacker will ever try to track you down, steal one of your devices, and bypass whatever you’ve set up to protect your personal data.

Our latest round was led by ICONIQ Growth, with participation from other wonderful partners including Accel, Tiger Global, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Backbone Angels.
Millions of workers are leaving their jobs after enduring stay-at-home lockdowns and reflecting on what they need to be truly happy and healthy. While the ‘Great Resignation’ could have a positive impact on society, it also represents a security risk for businesses of all sizes.
If year-end reviews have taught us anything, it’s that people love recaps that cram 12 months of growth and change into a five minute digestible read. Last year we worked hard to bring easy but secure password management to everyone – businesses and individuals alike.
Business security is often associated with larger companies where employees spend most of their time in front of computers. This stereotype can lead small business owners – especially ones outside the tech industry – to think they’ll never be targeted by hackers and don’t need to invest in security. It’s a mistake that cybercriminals are exploiting.
Several layers of protection guard the data you store in 1Password, but is it enough to defend against cyberattacks like credential stuffing?
