(And if podcasts aren't your thing - note that that page is text, and the episodes it links all have full transcripts.)
We didn't talk a lot about what's different for corporate users, but we do cover family/shared accounts. There's also two particular things I want to call your attention to:
- You probably should use a browser extension, because it's your most effective defense against phishing. A human might not notice the difference between a legit domain name and a phishing site, and might copy/paste a password into the wrong one. A browser extension will notice that you're not on the usual site and won't offer to fill in the password automatically.
- Getting browser extensions right is hard, and some leading password managers have been much better than others.
