My website has been https-only for some time now, which is partly due to Snowden but mostly just because it&#x27;s good Internet hygiene.<p>There&#x27;s also been an - unfortunately very slight - uptick on encrypted email usage for me but for the most part I&#x27;ve resigned to the fact that email probably will never be used as a secure communication protocol by a significant number of people which is why I resort to other services and protocols for secure communication.<p>I also use a password manager and 2FA religiously wherever possible.
