Protecting you online and in the real world.

Most guides cover either the lock on your door or the password on your phone. Latch & Cipher covers physical and digital security in plain language, with specific picks and honest tradeoffs.

Physical security

Home Security Hardening

How to layer deterrents, door and window hardening, cameras, alarms and backups so your house is a harder target than the ones around it.

Vehicle Security

How to keep your car, its parts and what's inside it from being stolen: relay attacks, catalytic converters, steering locks, trackers and dashcams.

Digital security

Passwords & Account Access

How to set up a password manager, use MFA properly, back up your recovery info and protect the email accounts that every other login depends on.

Identity & Financial Protection

Credit freezes, monitoring, bank alerts and card habits that stop identity theft where you can and catch it early where you can't.

Device & Network Safety

How to keep your computer, phone and connection safe: updates, encryption, strong passcodes, a VPN on public Wi-Fi and encrypted cloud backups.
