Simple changes can often be the most effective.
This is a guiding principle in most everything I do, including accent and communication coaching.
So often we think that we need to make big, dramatic changes in order to get the results we want.
This mindset can keep us from taking action because we think that we're further from our
goals than we actually are.
When it comes to improving your accent and sounding more like a native English speaker,
subtle shifts can have a big impact on how people perceive you, and whether or not they
understand you.
In this video, we're going to talk about three simple changes you can make in order to sound
more American when speaking English.
Whether I'm doing an accent assessment or working with my coaching clients, these are
suggestions I make again and again.
And I'm going to share them with you in today's video.
So let's get started.
Number one: move your mouth on long vowels and diphthongs.
One of the most effective ways to improve your accent and sound more American is to
move your mouth more when pronouncing vowel sounds, especially long vowels and diphthongs.
I once heard someone say that Americans clearly pronounce their vowels while Brits clearly
pronounced their consonants.
Whether that's true or not, increasing how much you move your mouth when saying vowel
sounds will definitely help you sound more natural.
Remember, when we stress or emphasize a syllable, we make the vowel sound longer, louder, and
higher in pitch with extra clarity.
In other words, moving your mouth more on vowel sounds is a simple way to speak clearly
and be more easily understood.
So let's talk about how and why you need to move your mouth more when saying these vowel
sounds in American English.
Even if your native language has similar vowels to English, chances are these are what we
call pure vowels.
This basically means that your mouth stays in one position when pronouncing the sound.
On the other hand, long vowels in English are what we call off-glides.
This means that our mouth moves from the main vowel sound to form a shape
at the end of the vowel.
We also do this when pronouncing diphthongs, which by definition contain two different
vowel sounds.
Let's look at some examples so that you can see and hear what I mean.
Let's start with the sound a, a, a as in day or train.
As you can see, my mouth is moving into the "y" shape when I pronounce this vowel sound
- a, a, a.
My mouth moves more on this particular sound than a more pure vowel where your mouth stays
more or less in the same position.
My mouth opens to the "y" shape: a, a, a.
It almost looks like your mouth is smiling: a, day, train.
When you first start adding this shaping to the vowel sounds at the end, it can feel a
little uncomfortable at first.
But it's absolutely essential to pronouncing the vowels accurately in English.
Let's try it again: day, day, day, train, train, train.
As you can see, my mouth is moving through different shapes.
Let's practice with the "e" sound, e, e, e, as in the words "see" and "between."
You can see that my mouth is moving once again to the "y" shape at the end of that vowel
sound: see, between, see, between, see, between.
My mouth is opening into the "y" position and then closing back down when I'm done with
the sound.
Now let's look at i, i, i.
My mouth is opening into that "y" shape at the end of the diphthong - i, i, i - and then
closing back down afterwards.
Sky, sky, sky.
Why, why, why.
As you can see, moving my mouth more on those vowel sounds helps me pronounce them more clearly.
Let's move on to o, o, o.
Unlike the previous three vowels, we add the "w" sound to the end of the "o" sound: o, o, o.
I often think of this shape as a fish opening and closing its mouth: o, o, o.
For example: no, no, no, though, though, though.
As you can see, adding the additional vowel shaping at the end of the vowel sound helps
you pronounce the word accurately: no, no, no, though, though, though.
Now let's talk about the "oo" sound.
Like the "o," we add the shape of the "w" onto the end of this vowel sound: oo, oo,
oo, as in the words too, too, too, and soon, soon, soon.
As you can see, adding the shape of the "w" to the end of this vowel makes it clear what
vowel sound I'm using: oo, oo, oo.
Now let's look at some diphthongs: oi, oi, oi, as in the word "boy" or "choice."
My mouth is moving through all of these different shapes and that's what's helping me pronounce
the sound more accurately.
Boy, boy, boy, choice, choice, choice.
Next, let's talk about the "ou" sound: ou, ou, ou, as in about and loud.
As you can see, my mouth is moving to the "w" shape at the end of that vowel sound:
about, about, about, loud, loud, loud.
Moving your mouth more when pronouncing this sound will help you get it right.
Last, let's talk about the "u" sound, as in the words "few" and "university: u, u, u.
As you can see my mouth is starting in the "y" shape, moving to the "oo" sound, and ending
with the w shape.
This is a really tricky sound for many non-native speakers because you have to move your mouth
through so many different shapes on this particular vowel.
Few, few, few, university, university, university.
If you find it challenging to pronounce these vowel sounds, you just need to practice.
Take some time to make a list of words you use all the time that contain these vowel sounds.
Practice adding the shaping at the end of the vowels.
With time, this will get easier, it will feel more natural, and it won't feel like you're
forcing this additional shape at the end of the vowels.
Creating this glide with your mouth at the end of the sound does more than help you pronounce
them accurately.
It also helps you create a natural-sounding transition between stressed and unstressed syllables.
On top of that, when you create the right shape at the end of these vowel sounds, it
looks right to a native English speaker who may be reading your lips or watching your
mouth in order to follow what you're saying.
Moving your mouth more on vowel sounds really helps people understand you.
With short vowel sounds in American English, we often include a little bit of vowel shaping
at the end of these sounds as well, although it's not as exaggerated.
After all, short vowel sounds are more relaxed and require less mouth movement.
To get started, focus on moving your mouth more on long vowels and diphthongs and words
you use all the time.
Test it out for yourself and see if native speakers find it easier to understand you.
I have a feeling you're going to be very happy with the results.
Number two: soften your "t" sounds.
One of the most obvious characteristics of American English is how we pronounce or even
change the "t" sound.
When you first learn the "t" sound, you often learn it as a strong aspirated sound.
That means you should feel a puff of air leaving your mouth when you tap your tongue to the
ridge of your mouth.
In order to check if you are producing this puff of air at the end of the sound, you can
put your hand in front of your mouth and see if you can feel your breath touch your hand,
you can put a mirror in front of your mouth and watch to see if you fog up the mirror,
or you can put a piece of paper in front of your mouth and see if your breath moves the paper.
This strong "t" sound is perfectly fine when the sound appears at the beginning of a word,
which is when the sound is most distinct and most obvious: time, today, ten, talk, too.
But when you say the "t" sound too forcefully, it can sound aggressive, like you're spitting
like a camel: time, today, talk, ten, too.
Do you hear the difference from the way I said the sound a few moments ago?
In order to sound more natural, I want you to see if you can back off of that sound a little bit.
You'll still release a puff of air, but it will sound less obvious.
Beyond that, when the "t" sound appears in the middle or at the end of a word, it often
sounds a little softer.
Listen to how I just said the word "softer."
I didn't say "softer," I said "softer, softer."
Pull it back a little when pronouncing the "t" sound.
Here are a few more examples.
Pretend, pretend, pretend.
Hotel, hotel, hotel.
Guitar, guitar, guitar.
Fifteen, fifteen, fifteen.
As you can hear, I'm not pronouncing the "t" sound in the middle of these words very forcefully.
I'm saying it just enough so that you can understand what sound I'm using.
When the "t" sound appears at the end of the word, you want to make sure your mouth ends
in the "t" position without releasing air afterwards.
If you pronounce the "t" sound strongly at the end of the word, you may actually add
an additional sound to the end of the word, like the "uh" sound, and the word is going
to sound off because you're adding an extra syllable.
Let's look at a few examples.
Cat, cat, cat.
Get, get, get.
Boat, boat, boat.
Light, light, light.
Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.
As you can see, my mouth is ending in the "t" position.
My tongue is still touching the ridge of my mouth, but I'm not releasing air at the end
of these particular words.
This is especially obvious when one of these words comes at the end of your sentence.
You want to end in the "t" position without releasing that extra air at the end.
Pulling back from the "t" sound will help you sound more American.
Once again, try to be more gentle when pronouncing the sounds.
Of course, we can't forget to mention one of the most obvious characteristics of American
English, the flap "t."
The flap "t" is when the "t" sound converts into a soft "d" sound, when your tongue taps
against the ridge of your mouth.
The flap "t" happens between vowel sounds, after the "r" sound, and often after the "n" sound.
Here are some examples.
Water, water, water.
Computer, computer, computer.
Letter, letter, letter.
Bottle, bottle, bottle.
Matter, matter, matter.
Butterfly, butterfly, butterfly.
Beauty, beauty, beauty.
City, city, city.
Dirty, dirty, dirty.
Article, article, article.
Center, center, center.
Wanted, wanted, wanted.
While people will definitely understand you if you fully pronounce the "t" sound in those
examples, it will make you sound more British.
Learning to use the flap "t" will help you sound more American.
Pay attention to words where you hear this flap "t" and practice them.
By the way, you can apply this suggestion to soften the "t" sound to other consonant
sounds as well.
Think about how you can pronounce consonants a little more gently, especially at the end of words.
Number three: change your pitch consistently.
Last but not least, let's talk about how you can change your pitch in order to sound more
American.
In order to sound more natural, you want to include more pitch variation when speaking.
As you can hear, we consistently move between pitch levels when speaking English.
While this is true in British English, Australian English, and other varieties of English, Americans
tend to sound much more expressive.
To improve how you sound, you want to start experimenting with how you use pitch.
Be sure to increase your pitch on the most important words in your speech.
Try shifting your pitch up when you're asking a question for clarification or confirmation.
Try shifting your pitch down at the end of your statements or when asking for information.
See how you can pronounce words more clearly by increasing your pitch on stressed syllables,
in addition to those extra clear vowel sounds we just practiced.
Yes, of course there are guidelines you can follow for word and sentence stress, and I
have plenty of videos that can help you get started.
But first I want you to start experimenting so that you get more comfortable with changing
your pitch and get more control over how you use your voice.
When you start playing around with pitch, you start seeing how powerful it is.
Think about other non-native speakers who you think have a good accent.
A big part of that is how much pitch variation they include when speaking English.
Once again, simply start experimenting and see if it changes how people perceive you.
Be sure to check out my resources on pitch in the description below the video.
So let's review these three simple changes you can make in order to sound more American
when speaking English.
First, move your mouth more on long vowels and diphthongs.
This additional shaping at the end of vowel sounds will help you pronounce words more
accurately.
Next, soften the way you use the "t" sound, especially in the middle or at the end of words.
Try using the flap "t" on words you use all the time.
This is a really noticeable characteristic of American English.
Finally, change your pitch consistently throughout your speech.
Increase your pitch on stressed syllables of key words.
Let your pitch rise when asking for clarification or confirmation, and fall when you're giving
or asking for information.
To have some fun practicing your pitch, be sure to check out my videos on pitch exercises
and intonation exercises.
Have fun with your pitch.
That's how you're going to start feeling more comfortable.

- We enlisted some help for your situation.
We sent your resume to career coach, Ashley Stahl,
and she joins us now.
Ashley, what tips do you have for Nicole?
- [Ashley] What I looked at when I saw your resume
was somebody that didn't know what they wanted to do.
And when you were talking to them,
I could tell that she said she wanted
to be a design assistant.
That's not coming across on your resume
and the world makes way
for people who know where they're going.
So you really want to think about
what is the skill set
that you want to bring into the workforce,
and how can you relay that on your resume?
Because the average amount of time
a recruiter spends on a resume is six seconds.
- [Host] Oh wow.
- [Ashley] Yeah, it's quick and heat map studies show
that they look at your job
and then they look at the bullet point under.
So you want to make sure that your first bullet
is your very best bullet.
So I'm noticing that throughout your resume
you're not really showing in that first bullet
a lot of impact where your design skills
are coming across in your job.
- That is excellent advice Ashley.
Is there something that you like to offer Nicole?
- So I want to offer my signature private coaching program.
Five sessions with me.
We're gonna figure out your purpose in the workforce
and how to wrap a career around that.
- Oh look at that smile.
(clapping)
(cheering)
- [Host] Look it there.
- [Ashley] You know once we get clear on that
I also want to help you actually land that job
and so I want to open access for you to my online
job hunting program around the world.
It's called the, "Job Offer Academy."
It's gonna take you from how to write a resume
to stand out in a pile, how to write a cover letter that
kicks employers off the fence about you.
How to have a networking strategy,
so you have more conversations
that turn into job interviews.
How to negotiate a salary
that you couldn't of even believed possible,
and how to nail your interview,
so we're gonna get you covered.
- [Nicole] Wow, thank you, thank you so much.
- [Host] Nicole, you are gonna be on your way girlfriend.
How does that sound to you?
- [Nicole] That sound amazing, yeah.
- [Host] Good, good, good.
Well you make sure when you walk in that room you own it
and you become all the fashionista that you can, okay?
- [Nicole] Thank you so much.
- [Host] Alright.
(clapping)
Thank you so much Ashley,
and thank you Nicole for having the courage
to face the truth.

Learn 1 simple key to immediate energy & vitality! - Duration: 9:22.
today we're gonna discuss one simple key to immediately give you more energy and
vitality I'll give you a hint you can't live without it
hi this is John Ruman if we have not met before my mission in life is to help you
achieve the greatness you are destined for every single moment in every single
day there are certain things that I'm sure you've heard all throughout your
life that are challenging for you to live without water food and what's the
one that just a couple short minutes you're out of air so the miracle of
oxygen and your body's ability to use it and leverage it throughout your entire
system is a major key for you to feel amazing regardless how you're feeling
now one of the things that makes exercise besides being so nice because
you feel refreshed and endorphins are released and serotonin and all these
wonderful chemicals that make you feel happy and positive your body also
experiences a great deal of oxygenation typically at a much higher level than
you just sitting down and relaxing one of the major benefits of oxygenating
your body is it is happier and more energetic so one of the things actually
this Sunday's workshop is I'll show you a couple breathing techniques one of
which is a hyper oxygen native technique which is powerful provocative and
they've actually are studying it and it's about to blow your mind
it actually has been studying right now for so you can actually learn how to
change your body temperature that you can actually fight off disease and if
you have an illness literally the next 24 hours or so you can get rid of it and
they're actually the people who or the person who kind of started this whole
movement around this actually he's able to fend off a powerful toxin within a
half-hour hour of being injected with some
that would normally kill a person in a relatively short time
long story short oxygen and your ability to acclimate and receive it and
experience the benefits truly are profound so my lesson for you today is
find the opportunity to exercise so you actually get more oxygen and then
beautiful body that you have by the way it feels great just to move your body so
just being active is a wonderful experience in itself if you're not in
good shape I would encourage you just simply go for a walk even for a few
minutes experience fresh air try not to be in a
stifled indoor environment if you can be outside if you live in an environment
I'm in Trinidad there's some farming areas that agricultural don't go where
there's spring so be cognizant of toxins and all that but go outside feel the air
breathe the air ideally for Maxim oxygenation on just basic movement it's
called aerobics and if you everyone think of aerobics as like Zumba and all
that kind of stuff aerobics just means oxygenation so when
you do a rope and aerobic exercise most of the time your body actually goes to
oxygen deprivation you should be able to easily and comfortably talk when your
body's in anaerobic state hey guys good to see you so I would encourage you if
you have the desire to get a better aerobic activity within your body a pee
walk or a potentially a fast walk is really all you need to do again you're
you you should the fitness industry has actually taught people wrong what
aerobics actually are aerobic activity again is bree is oxygenating your body
basically energizing your body by giving a lot of oxygen which has a unbelievably
powerful effect of actually causing fat loss
so there's a strong correlation between doing the handful things I'll discuss
this on Sunday but one of which is walking and walking on a consistent
regular basis aerobic ly again not so much your panting it can be leisurely
but ideally it's it's a brisk walk so you actually feel like you're breathing
a little bit if you're in warm weather you could be sweating and then but not
so you're gasping for air if you're walking with a friend or whatever you
should be able to easily talk to them that's aerobic activity anything that
makes you gasp anything that makes you feel short of breath is actually an
anaerobic activity so again the fitness world has kind of confused people but
it's important to understand there's a distinction and both are beneficial I'm
not pooping an aerobic activity but most fitness things are actually anaerobic
not aerobic aerobics this aerobics is an anaerobic activity not aerobic activity
there's a distinction so our OPIC activity will energize your
body will oxygenate your system it will help you to burn fat powerful anaerobic
does not have that benefit it will energize you which is why a brisk walk
feels so good also fresh air is better and then there are some breathing
exercises I don't time to do it now but there are some breathing exercises that
you can do which will oxygenate your system and you'll feel calm yet
unbelievably mentally alert and your body will have a sense of ready to do
something it doesn't mean pumped up I'm ready to sprint up a hill although it
could it just means that you're very ready I would make it a kin to ninja or
the martial arts thing or people like in this zone so ideally you want to feel
calm and collective when you're done so anyway so I want to in my live on a time
basis nice so thank you for checking us out if you do have any interest on
learning these breathing activities and have a better understanding about how to
get more vitality and energy within yourself hey Donna I would encourage you
to hey show good to see you trying to say hi to
everyone I would encourage you to check out my workshop I have a workshop on
Sunday 2:00 p.m. the 5:00 p.m. all about energy vitality all about how to move
how to feed your brain to make you more mentally alert calm and collected how to
make your body feel energized yet not exhausted and certain methods and
workout routines and things you can do to kind of maximize that I'm gonna go a
little bit into sleep I'll actually hit diet a fair amount I'll hit hydration a
fair amount and yes and again the breathing will be a major component
because if you're not breathing well good luck so a lot of people who are
really in not great shape physically have terrible breathing so one last
thing I just came in to mind is if you know any smokers one of the reason
people love smoking is it's a very calming effect if a you ever smoked I'm
a former smoker but when you inhale a cigarette deep inhale
they actually smokers find a very calming to smoke because there's a well
there's the expression of a calming of smoking and they're now coming up and
those who I may get some pushback on this I welcome it I used to smoke and I
used to think the need to smoke was incredible what they are finding and you
may find me crazy bring it on bring it on is that smoking is actually
potentially not addictive it is the unbelievably positive state your body
gets when it has a high amount of oxygenation the body they're finding is
actually addicted to feeling amazing to the high oxygen levels not the nicotine
so what we had heard all those years again bring it on I haven't studied this
enough to really say for sure but I'd like to open it up out there so just a
thought just thought so if you've ever smoked remember what you would always do
is big inhale anyway you would do that 20 or 40 times per cigarette
much deeper than you ever did and you'd often go outside funny huh all right so
if you have any questions I'd love to see a bunch of you at the workshop on
Sunday it's gonna be incredible I'm gonna teach you what I teach all my
private clients because a lot of them get little pieces I'm just gonna dump a
huge amount of valuable information it's gonna be awesome
and you're gonna love it so any questions ask me here on whatever stream
you happen to see this I hope you have an amazing rest of your day thanks for
your night bye-bye

Simple Truth: Woman Doesn't Know How to Land a Full-Time Job - Duration: 1:23.
- Today's questions comes to us from Nicole.
What's goin' on, girlfriend?
- (laughs) I'm originally from small town, Iowa.
I moved out to California to get a job.
I graduated in fashion design,
so there's not a whole lot of opportunity in Iowa,
so that's why I moved to L.A.,
and I don't know if I was naive,
but I thought that it'd be really easy to find a job,
and that is 100% not true.
I'm at it every day,
but I just can't seem to find a job,
and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
- So, Truth Team, what say you?
- Yeah, Nicole, I'm gonna give you a science-based tip.
So, have you heard of the research
about power posing before an interview?
- [Nicole] Oh, yeah, I have.
- Yeah, so what do we do before interviews?
Usually, we sit kind of hunched over.
We're kind of looking at our own resume.
If you just set your alarm for two minutes,
and you hold a power pose.
I love the Superman.
You just make yourself big as possible, strong, guess what?
Things are happening at the biochemical level
that you don't even know.
Your testosterone is goin' up,
which gives you more confidence,
and your cortisol's going down,
which decreases your stress,
so all the things that we're saying so far.
You're nonverbal, you're verbal,
some of that's gonna come through more
if you just go into the interview
after doing the power pose for two minutes
and establishing that presence.
- [Team Member] Confidence.
- People make first impressions like this,
and it doesn't matter what you do for the next 30 minutes.
They're still thinking about that first impression,
so how you walk in is gonna be a huge part of this.

I want you to think of any one of your passwords,
be it your bank, your email,
anything that you can think of
and answer these four questions, yes or no.
First, is that password longer than 12 digits long?
Second, does that password contain uppercase,
lowercase, numbers, and letters?
Third, is that password unique,
meaning that it hasn't been used
on any other account that you have?
And fourth, has that password been changed
in the past six months?
Now if you answered no to even two of those questions,
you've failed, but that's okay, you are in good company.
Trust me, so many of us are in the same boat.
All that means is that we need to take a few extra moments
to secure ourselves online by creating better passwords.
And what I wanna do right now
is walk you through a three step process
to do that very quickly and very efficiently.
Step one, select a process to create new passwords.
And this is something that we need to do
before we start changing our passwords
is we need to select that process,
and let's lay some ground rules.
First of all, changing letters into symbols is not secure.
Changing password into password is not gonna cut it.
Likewise, if you can actually save your password
really easily, such as crazy monkey
with a capital C, an at instead of an A,
and a zero instead of an O,
again, that's a little too easy.
Whereas if I were to give you this password,
it would take me about 20 to 30 seconds for me
to explain the whole password to you
the capitals, the lowercase,
the symbols and the numbers.
That is a secure password and that's what we're aiming for
with all of our accounts.
Those kind of secure passwords.
Now before you get a little bit overwhelmed
by the idea of having to create all these passwords,
let me explain that it is a lot easier than you think.
There's a couple methods, some that rely on technology,
and some that you can do on your own.
Let's start with the ones that you can do on your own.
My favorite method for creating these secure passwords
is to use a poem or a line in a song
or a favorite line that you like,
whatever it is, and create a password out of that.
Let's take an example of the poem Jack and Jill.
If I were to take the first line of that poem
and turn it into a password, it might look like this.
Jack and Jill went up the hill
to fetch a pail of water.
And as you can see, this password
is more than 12 digits long,
it contains capitals, lowercase, numbers, symbols,
and it's unique, or at least it's unique for this.
How would you take and make this password unique
for all of your accounts?
Especially if you don't wanna be writing
all of these weird ones down
and having to come up with new ones every single time.
Well the way that I've gone about it
in some of the accounts that I've had is I've taken,
let's say I'm gonna create a password for Facebook.
I'll take the first letter of Facebook, an F,
put it at the beginning,
and then I'll take the last letter of Facebook, K,
and put it at the end.
And I'll do that for ever single one of the accounts
that I'm creating.
If it's gonna be Gmail then I'll have a G at the front
and an L at the end.
That creates a unique password for every single one of them.
Now, this is a much better method
than probably what you're currently doing,
but it isn't the most secure method.
The most secure method is to just create
randomness as much as you can without any sort of semblance
of what you could explain very easily
like I'm doing right here.
And that's where technology comes into play.
There's a lot of password managers.
I use a password manager myself called Dashlane.
There are a number of others you can try.
I've put links in the description below.
What these do is they have a password generator,
and you can find these even online as well.
They generate a password that is very long,
very hard to say, and you can just copy
and paste that password in.
Now how do you remember that password?
That's what we're gonna get to in step two.
The key right now is to set up a process
to create the passwords.
Is it something you're gonna do in your head,
or is it something you're gonna do using technology.
I recommend you use technology at this point,
but that is entirely up to you.
Step two, we need to create a way to store
these secure passwords.
Now the last thing you wanna be doing
is writing down all these passwords on a piece of paper
and having to bring that piece of paper
with you wherever you go or pull it out every time
that you need to sign in to one of your accounts.
So what's a way that you can do that?
Well I already shared with you one of the ways,
which is to create one that you can remember
and that is unique for every single one of the accounts.
The other way is to use, like I said, a password manager.
Now if you look, as I'm using this password manager,
I've created all of the different accounts
that I have, and there is a unique password
that is set up for every single one of these accounts.
And while I'm on my computer
it syncs with my phone and my tablet.
All of those passwords stay synced up
and it's behind a single master password
that I need to know.
For my phone it can be my finger print,
but for the computer I need to have a secure password
that I use that allows me to get in and add these passwords
whenever I'm signing in to all my accounts.
Alright, step three.
Now we need to systematically go through
all of our accounts and change our passwords.
And before you freak out
about how much time that might take,
let's first just say what's important
is to get your most sensitive accounts changed.
I would go through, get a piece of paper,
and list out the most sensitive accounts.
Those are the ones that
if someone were to have your password
and to be able to get into these accounts,
they could do irreparable damage to your credit
or to your identity.
I would spend one day just getting
all of those sensitive accounts their passwords changed
using either the method we talked about
or a password manager like Dashlane.
Once you do that, then you can go through
and maybe spend five to 10 minutes a day,
or just anytime you log in to this new account
like Facebook or Twitter or Pinterest,
these place where, yes, a secure password is good
but it's not absolutely going to destroy you
if somebody hacks into that account,
that's when you need to go through
and change all of those passwords as well.
It might take you a little while.
I just decided to sit down
with one or two hours and just knock it all out
so that I had secure passwords.
And if I have a password manager like Dashlane or others,
when I try to log in,
it will automatically input those passwords
so I don't have to go through and copy and paste.
The only thing I need to know
is my master key password for that account
which could be my fingerprint
or it could be the actual password on my computer.
So to recap you need to select a process
to create secure passwords,
to store those passwords securely,
and then to systematically change those passwords.
And that includes changing your sensitive account passwords
about every six months or less.
I hope this was helpful.
If so, give it a thumb's up.
