Shouldn't the podcast about passwords and 2FA be called "Security 101" instead of "Privacy 101"? How is that related to privacy? You should have two sections for your episodes: one for privacy and one for security.
Totally valid point, and just to be ultra clear: yes, this episode was more security focused, technically speaking. Good privacy starts with good security. We're hoping that newcomers to the space who are primarily interested in privacy as a topic start with that principle in mind. We tried, as best we could, to avoid dropping the word "privacy" throughout this episode in an effort to create that distinction.
Thanks for the call out! You're right to be mindful that these are related but separate concepts.

I agree. Passwords and 2fa definetly leans more on the security side rather than privacy. It's important to keep these two terms destinct.
