Three questions sit under every answer.
A lost phone, a dead laptop, a changed number, or a forgotten password can lock you out as thoroughly as any attacker. So the quiz looks at all of it.
Do you know what you have?
Whether everything you have online has a home you could find in the dark.
Could you get back in?
Locking the door matters. So does knowing your way back in when the key is gone.
Is there a plan for the people you love?
Whether the right person can reach the right things, only when something specific happens.
Five levels, from The Shoebox to Sorted.
Your results show where you landed and the one thing to do first.
- The ShoeboxEverything exists, and none of it has a home yet. That is a starting point, not a verdict, and it is the level where your first sitting makes the biggest difference.0 to 3You are here
- The Sticky Note SystemYou have a system, and it lives in your head, on a note, and in whichever device you are holding. It works right up until a bad day.4 to 7You are here
- The Single Point of FailureYou have done real work, and all of it runs through you. One device, or one password you happen to remember, is holding everything together.8 to 11You are here
- Good BonesMost of it is right. What is missing is the plan for the people you love: who gets access, to what, and when, if you cannot act yourself.12 to 16You are here
- SortedYou are organized, protected, and prepared. The useful question now is whether your plan would hold up on a bad day and when you last checked it.17 to 18You are here
Before you start.
Is it free?
Yes. There is no account to make and nothing to buy.
Is this a security quiz?
Partly. Keeping people out is one piece of it. The rest is about knowing what you have, getting back in, and having a plan for the people you love.
