Following our previous guide on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and its vital role in enhancing your online security with an extra layer of verification, we now turn our attention to the digital security landscape at home.

Shared credentials are passwords, PINs, or security codes known and used by multiple people in a household. These digital keys grant access to online services like email and banking.
Sharing credentials makes it hard to track online actions and can create a false sense of security, even with MFA. This can lead to confusion, accidental issues, or potential security breaches.
