We’ve been using passwords to protect our various accounts for a few decades now, and, to be honest, we’re not very good at it. Many of us use the same simple, easy to remember passwords for all of our accounts—convenient for logging in, but horrible for security. Not only will a bad actor (or computer) be able to guess that password easily, they’ll try it against your other accounts. Before you know it, you have multiple breaches, some of which may involve financial or private information. There are a number of steps you can take to beef up your password security,…

I inherited a love for scones at an early age from my English mother. Her homemade scones were simple, with just a few ingredients and no eggs—essentially a sweet biscuit to serve for tea along with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Years later, I find that I also love baking scones on the weekend for my family. They’re so easy to make and endlessly adaptable—and the drop scone style is even easier, with no rolling or cutting required. These moist, tender pumpkin drop scones come together easily with pantry staples and a can of pumpkin puree. The pumpkin spice flavor,…
