Right now, tens of billions of username and password combinations are being traded on criminal forums. Not last year. Right now. And a lot of them work — because people reuse passwords, choose predictable ones, and trust companies that don't deserve it.
Franklin Green used "Franklin1!" as his password on his work account, his bank, his fantasy football league, and three other services. When Coastal Data Systems suffered a breach in November 2024, that password was cracked in under two minutes. By morning, his bank account had been drained.
Eight chapters. We start inside the database — where your password goes when you hit Enter. We move through what makes a password strong, how password managers work, MFA, and the passkey future that's already here. Then we flip sides and show you how attackers actually crack passwords — so you understand exactly what you're defending against. We end with a practical checklist you can start today.
Franklin fixed everything after the breach. Password manager, unique passwords everywhere, MFA on everything that mattered. He also wants you to learn this before it costs you two weeks of your life. This manual is his gift to you.
