Hi [First Name],
Thanks for grabbing the security checkup and password checklists. Here is your download page, in case you need it again:

You will find two checklists there, each as a printable PDF and an editable Word file. Checklist 1 is a security checkup you can run in an afternoon. Checklist 2 sets up a password manager and two-factor authentication, the upgrade that closes the most common way into a small online business.
If you only have ten minutes today, spend them on your email account.
Email is the master key. Almost every other account you own, from your payment processor to your website host, can be reset through it. Whoever controls your inbox can usually control the rest.
So log in to your business email, find the security settings and turn on two-factor authentication. If you are offered a choice, pick an authenticator app or a physical security key over text message codes. SIM-swap scams can redirect text messages to someone else's phone. An app-based code cannot be moved by a phone carrier trick.
When it is on, save the backup codes it gives you somewhere safe, such as printed and put away. Losing your only phone without a backup code means a slow and painful recovery.
Over the next few days I will send you a few short emails with the most practical ideas from the checklists, so the gaps that cause most break-ins get closed one at a time.
Talk soon,

P.S. While you are in those settings, check the recovery phone number and backup email. A recovery number tied to an old SIM card you no longer have is a locked door with a lost key.
