Cybersecurity resolutions you’ll actually stick to in 2026

Happy New Year! 🎉✨ We’re kicking off 2026 with cybersecurity resolutions you’ll actually stick to — no cold plunges, no green juice cleanse, just a handful of tiny ten-minute wins that make a big difference to your privacy and security. We’ve turned the best advice from last season’s guests into a simple, practical checklist. On this episode, you’ll learn the importance of freezing your credit, using passkeys, turning on MFA, tidying up your digital “junk drawer” (and moving the important stuff into 1Password), and adopting a “politely paranoid” protocol that helps you catch scams before they catch you. ✅🔐 🗣 #Ask1Password – Ask Us Anything!  Please send us an email at: podcast@1password.com Ask us a question in the 1Password Community forum [https://www.1password.community/category/discuss] 📲  Follow Us… * Watch on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@randombutmemorable] * Find us on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/random-but-memorable/id1435486599] * Find us on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/5Sa3dy0xDvMT0h3O5MGMOr] * Visit 1Password.com [http://1password.com] * Check out our blog [https://blog.1password.com/] * Find us on X @1Password [https://twitter.com/1Password] * Find us on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/1Password/] or Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/1password/] * Send us an email: podcast@1password.com [podcast@1password.com] ❤️  Review Us...

Cybersecurity Hot Takes 2025

Love a hot take? 🔥 You’re in luck! We’re back with a special end-of-year treat: a rapid-fire round of cybersecurity hot takes guaranteed to start arguments in your group chats and hijack at least one Slack thread. 💬 The team weighs in on bold claims like “Passwords will finally die in 2026” and “AI will solve more cybersecurity problems than it causes next year.” Then we spice things up with hot takes from around 1Password — covering everything from CAPTCHAs (a punishment?) to VPNs (are they even doing anything?) to whether New Year’s security resolutions ever last past January. 🤔✨ We also tackle a listener question in #Ask1Password. Plus, it wouldn’t be a holiday episode without a bit of nonsense, so we’ve revived an old fan-favourite game from the Random but Memorable vault. 🌍❓ 🗣 #Ask1Password – Ask Us Anything!  Please send us an email at: podcast@1password.com Ask us a question in the 1Password Community forum [https://www.1password.community/category/discuss] 📲  Follow Us… * Watch on YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@randombutmemorable] * Find us on Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/random-but-memorable/id1435486599] * Find us on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/5Sa3dy0xDvMT0h3O5MGMOr] * Visit 1Password.com [http://1password.com] * Check out our blog [https://blog.1password.com/] * Find us on X @1Password [https://twitter.com/1Password] * Find us on Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/1Password/] or Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/1password/] * Send us an email: podcast@1password.com [podcast@1password.com] ❤️  Review Us...
