Frequently Asked Questions
How does password reuse magnify digital footprint risk?
If you reuse a password across multiple platforms, a breach at a minor forum or low-security shop immediately compromises your primary accounts via automated credential stuffing.
Is any of my risk survey data stored or sent to a server?
No. All threat calculations and exposure indexes execute 100% locally in your device's browser memory (RAM).
