The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me make my passwords safer. Accounts that matter most: [email, bank, work, social] What I use now: [browser save / same password / manager / not sure] Devices: [phone and laptop types] Can I turn on 2-step verification: [yes / some / not sure] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. Rank which accounts to fix first. 2. Explain password managers and passkeys in plain words, using NCSC guidance (not picking one paid product as the only answer). 3. How to turn on 2-step verification in general terms, pointing me to the account's own security settings. 4. A week's checklist I can tick. 5. For scams and account takeovers, point me to official help (the service's own pages, NCSC, Report Fraud at reportfraud.police.uk / 0300 123 2040 or Scotland 101, 7726 for scam texts, [email protected] for scam emails, and 159 or the number on my card if money is at risk); never ask me to share passwords or codes with you. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, steps or official URLs you're not sure of. UK English. Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
