## How do I secure all my accounts and apps without being technical?

List your devices and the apps you sign in to, then ask an AI to rank them by risk and walk you through each fix one step at a time. Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini all handle this well because the job is clear instructions, not special features. If you run a small business, add your work accounts and shared logins to the list. Never paste passwords or codes into the chat; the AI only needs the names of your apps.

## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Act as a patient personal security coach. I'm not technical. Here are my devices: [MY DEVICES, e.g. iPhone 15, Windows laptop, iPad]. Here are the apps and sites I sign in to: [MY APPS AND SITES, e.g. Gmail, bank, Facebook, Amazon]. Never ask me for a password, code or account number. First, rank everything by how much damage a break-in would do. Then build my checklist in this order: turn on automatic updates, switch to passkeys or Face ID where offered, use an authenticator app for two-step sign-in where passkeys aren't offered, and move off text-message codes where I can. Add a step to review which apps and AI tools have access to my email and accounts, and remove the ones I don't use. Mention any common scams aimed at people like me right now. Walk me through one fix at a time with the exact taps or clicks for my device, and wait for me to say done before the next one.
```

## Step by step

1. Write down your devices and the apps and sites you sign in to
2. Open Claude and paste the prompt with your list
3. Do the top fix, then type done to get the next step
4. Save the finished checklist so you can repeat it in six months

## What you'll get

A ranked security checklist for your own devices and apps, with click-by-click help for each fix, one at a time.
