Security
I've been researching different ways to protect personal information, from stronger account security to reducing how much data is publicly available.
For those who've taken their privacy seriously, which steps have made the biggest difference?
I'm particularly interested in things that have worked over time, rather than just products that promise protection.

Can you give a few examples of what personal information you want to protect against what on what places?

For me the biggest change was switching to a password manager with a unique password for every account, plus app-based 2FA on email and banking. That stopped the credential-stuffing lockouts I used to get after breaches elsewhere. I also turned off ad personalization and removed my phone number from public profiles, which cut the spam calls noticeably over a few months.
