“Reply All” as default setting in Gmail
#

I think you receive a lot of emails that have multiple recipients and the content of the email requires you to “respond” to a particular topic - then it’s best to use “Reply All” - but of course, you have to remember to do so.

Gmail (both free and paid versions) has a great feature - you can set “Reply All” as the default way of replying to emails. To enable this feature, follow these steps: ↪ click on the gear icon in Gmail ↪ “see all settings” ↪ General settings ↪ Default reply behavior ↪ Reply All ↪ check the box ↪ and click “Save changes”.

From now on, the “Reply All” button is the default option when you hit “reply”.

If you receive an email addressed only to you, you don’t have to worry and also click “Reply All”.

Did my password leak?
#

There will be a lot about passwords, in every other package, because in reality, we can’t function without them.

I recommend, encourage, and urge you to regularly check on the website “have i been pwned” whether your email address - private or business - has not been “leaked” to the network from some store, Facebook, Dropbox, or other place on the network where you left your email address.

And someone might say, so what if my address leaked, that’s true, but it’s not about the address - it’s about what password you had in that service. If in

coolstorewithtoysandgadgets.com you had your secretfavoritepassword123! and you have the same password for your mailbox, bank account, dating portal, Facebook, etc. then it becomes dangerous.

A person who targets you will start following such a trail, from store to store, from mailbox to mailbox, because maybe you have the same password everywhere for your convenience.

(If you’re looking for an idea of what to do with a few unnecessary “coins” - I recommend making a donation to this website - they use the money collected to buy access to databases from such leaks.)

If you have been using the same password everywhere, in the next post, I will suggest how to manage passwords.

I would like to familiarize you with the topic of passwords. It takes more time to create a good password and manage passwords than to enter your one password. I will try to show you tools that help you safely manage them.

If you have come this far, you deserve adoption: 🐿 (squirrel) everything is explained here.
