My friends used to tease me for putting sticky notes over my laptop camera but there aint no shame in my privacy protection game. If you’re just as mindful and cautious about people sharing or seeing your sensitive information – you’re in the right spot.
Consider this your Privacy Kit: keeping your information, yours.
Webcam Cover Slide
The chic’er version of a sticky note covering your laptop, iPad, or iPhone camera.
Magnetic Privacy Screen for MacBook
For the coffee shop workdays – minus the side eye from laptop lurkers.
NFC 2-Factor Authentication for Online Payments
Physical authentication for your accounts and payments – plus, a backup key for someone you trust.
- Go to security settings on website logins and add the NFC key as a secure authenticator
- You can give a second key to someone you trust. They can use their fingerprint to login in
- What happens if you lose the key? A message will be sent to your iPhone
iPhone Privacy Screen
Because not every text thread needs an audience.
Pro Move: Turn on 2-factor authentication whenever you can.
The Takeway
These aren’t complicated setups – just a few smart swaps to make your personal life feel a lot less public. As always, these are just tools I use and love. I’m not a privacy pro, so do your own research and find what works best for you.
