Digital Hygiene: The 10-Minute Bunker Setup

Your phone and laptop are the primary witnesses against you. If you are living in a high-risk environment, "Digital Hygiene" isn't a luxury—it's survival. Here is how to lock down your life in 10 minutes.

1. The "Incognito" Fallacy

Incognito mode only hides your history from *you*. It does NOT hide it from your ISP, your government, or the person who owns the Wi-Fi router.

The Fix: Use **Brave Browser** or **Firefox** with "Strict" tracking protection. Never use Chrome for sensitive searches.

2. Biometrics are a Trap

In many jurisdictions, you can be legally (or physically) forced to provide a fingerprint or face scan to unlock your phone. You cannot be forced to provide a password you "forgot."

The Fix: Disable FaceID and TouchID. Use a **6-digit alphanumeric passcode**.

3. The "Panic" App Layout

If someone takes your phone, the first thing they look for are "suspicious" apps (VPNs, Reddit, encrypted messaging).

The Fix: Use "App Hiding" features. On Android, use a "Secure Folder." On iOS, remove apps from the Home Screen so they only appear in the App Library search.
