Even a “good” breakup is emotionally taxing.
While the whole thing is worth reading and following, these eight steps will get you started.
Secure your most important accounts
Start by changing the passwords of your crucial accounts.
Your investment accounts (including mutual funds, cryptocurrency, retirement funds, emergency accounts, etc.)
My recommendations include1PasswordandBitwarden(for most people), andKeePass(for more tech savvy people).
You should also do a checkup on your most critical accounts, like your Google account.
Head over toSettings > Privacy & Security > Safety Check.
You should also set up two-factor authentication on all of your accounts.
(Most password managers also store your two-factor authentication keys.)
If warranted, it’s possible for you to even consider moving to a different password manager.
Start by going toGoogle Location Historysettings and selectTurn off.
it’s possible for you to also click theManage historybutton and delete location history data.
You may even consider turning off location services on your phone entirely until you feel it’s safe.
Consider blocking your ex-partner from contacting you via email.
Most email services have a block sender feature that is useful for these situations.
Even if you aren’t deleted, ensure your accounts are covered by your password manager and two-factor authentication.
and drop off remotely.
If you’ve been sharing a streaming site account with your ex, it’s best to exit.
Change the password or open a fresh account for yourself.
