For example, never connect to public WiFi, change your password regularly.

    Password rotation isn’t necessary anymore according to NIST. Use long/strong unique passwords combined with MFA.

    Furthermore, public wifi risk is overblown. As long as you ensure encrypted communication, you’re good.

    This has no direct effect on privacy by the way.

        You don’t. Use a password manager and you only have to remember 1 password (long and unique, doesn’t need to be super complex IMHO)

      NIST is part of the US government, I don‘t know how trustworthy such a claim is. They profit a lot from people having bad passwords.
