Answer 10 questions about your online privacy habits to get a personalized score and improvement tips.

Progress0 of 10 answered
1Do you use two-factor authentication (2FA) on your important accounts?

2FA blocks 99.9% of automated attacks according to Microsoft.

2Do you use unique passwords for every account (no reuse)?

Password reuse means one breach can compromise all your accounts.

3Do you use a VPN when on public Wi-Fi networks?

Public Wi-Fi networks are often unencrypted, making your traffic visible to attackers.

4Do you regularly update your operating system and apps?

Updates often patch critical security vulnerabilities that attackers actively exploit.

5Do you avoid sharing your location on social media posts?

Location data reveals your routines, home address, and when you are away.

6Do you avoid using public Wi-Fi without a VPN?

Attackers can set up fake Wi-Fi hotspots to intercept your data.

7Do you regularly review and limit app permissions on your phone?

Many apps request unnecessary access to your camera, microphone, contacts, and location.

8Do you use a password manager?

Password managers generate strong, unique passwords and store them securely.

9Do you regularly review privacy settings on your social media and online accounts?

Default privacy settings are often the least private option. Platforms change settings frequently.

10Do you avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails or text messages?

Phishing is the #1 way attackers steal credentials. Even sophisticated users can be fooled.

Why This Matters

Your online privacy habits directly impact your risk of identity theft, financial fraud, and personal data exposure. According to the FTC, Americans lost over $10 billion to fraud in 2023.

Most privacy breaches are not sophisticated hacks — they are the result of poor password hygiene, missing 2FA, and falling for phishing attacks. Small habit changes can dramatically reduce your risk.

This quiz covers the most impactful privacy behaviors. Even implementing a few of these recommendations can significantly improve your security posture.
