9 out of 10 successful attacks start with one thing you could have spotted — learn to spot it
A book that explains passwords, 2FA, backups, and recognizing scams in plain language that needs no translation. For people who have never gotten their accounts in order — and finally want to.
What you'll learn from this book
- Set up a password manager across all your important accounts
- Turn on 2FA where it matters (and skip it where it doesn’t)
- Configure backups that will actually work when your device dies
- Spot phishing before you click — using real examples from the Polish internet
- Respond in the first hours after someone takes over your account
- Check whether your data has leaked — and what to do if it has
- Lock down privacy on social media so you don’t expose your child to risk
“The safest password is the one you never type by hand. You type it once — into your password manager. Then you forget it. The manager remembers it for you. Every account gets its own random password — 20 characters no human will ever memorize. And no human has to. This is the first thing we’ll do in this book. 30 minutes of work. The rest of your life without worrying about someone reading your password over your shoulder on the train.”
Who this book is for — and who it isn't
For you, if:
- You feel like your passwords and accounts are out of control
- You want to protect your parents, your kids, your partner
- You're afraid of being robbed online — and don't know what to do
- You'd rather read once and set it up than worry about it forever
Not for you, if:
- You work in cybersecurity professionally
- You're looking for a technical book on configuring firewalls
- You want to learn hacking
- You're hoping that reading alone will be enough, with no follow-through
Frequently asked questions
No. The book is written for people who never had the chance to learn this. Step by step, with screenshots, in plain language.
Yes. The book reflects the state of things in 2026 — with current tools (Bitwarden, 1Password, Aegis) and current scam types (fake bank SMS, BLIK scams on Allegro listings, fake package notifications).
Yes. Separate sections for parents (how to set up kids’ accounts) and for older adults (recognizing phone and banking scams).
You can set up most things on your phone. A computer is only useful for 2-3 procedures (backups, data-breach checks) — but you can also ask someone at home to handle those.
