Good video Steve, I personally have dug through all the settings and set my preferences. Tip if you change your phone number make sure two step verification is turned off before you deactivate your old number. Turn it back on when the new number is active.

Such a useful video, brilliantly delivered. Unpretentious, entertaining, and easy to watch. Thanks Steve.

[jackkennard]

Thanks Steve, I've been a Google user for over 15 years and pretty good about security, but have not gone through many of the features you have reviewed, like some devices I want to sell, accounts I no longer use, and more. Well I know what I'll be doing tonight!

It all comes down to the ""details"" that we did not know Google knows. As always, Steve is a reliable source of "details' we need. Thanks, Steve

This just goes to show you that all of those people complaining about their online privacy are wasting their time. YOUR DATA IS OUT THERE! If you bank online or via cell phone...your data is there for the taking. Thanks for this brief tutorial on google settings. I, like many, had no idea of what what is going on behind the scenes. Fortunately, my setting were like yours. To this day, I do not recall how I got attached to google pay, unless it was when I paid for one of the apps. Thumbs up...already subbed.

All of the above settings I use myself and recommend to anyone who has watched this video or will watch it!

What a well prepared video. Thanks for the tips. I wasn’t aware of some of these settings, like Location History and Web & App Activity. 👍🏽

As usual a real eye opener, very interesting and helpful, I was explain to an acquaintance of mine yesterday about using talk to print, I now even use it on my WhatsApp and also told my a daughter-in-law who is a teacher, I might have mentioned that before, but please keep informing us about things that make our lives safer and better.

I have looked at SOME of these features at one time or another. Looks like I need to spend a few hours checking MORE of these features and looking at specific settings. Cheers!

Even if we think we known it all, it is great to hear what you have to say on matters like this video content. I do think I have a handle on my account, but I gained value from what you had to say also. Personally, I think too many websites expect us to have an account and log in and in my opinion, that is not necessary on the most part. In consequence of all those unnecessary passwords, I do store them in the google password manager, and I assure you they are the only passwords I store there, and I have a method for dealing with that issue, so if they are acquired by others then it doesn't matter to me 'personally' and nothing is really gained for the effort of others.

[cocoscabana]
