One last piece of advice: Buy a YubiKey – By Ryne Hager Android Police
Almost no one takes their security seriously. I know there are certain people that think storing passwords written down in an actual book is a good idea — that these timeless invocations whispered in taps to Amazon, Bank of America, or Google by their very presence save them from the glasses-and-trenchcoat-dressed “hackers.” These are the same people that ignore piles of pending security updates and whole inches of screen space lost to browser toolbars. You just can’t make people storing their banking credentials in plain text notes saved to iCloud or Drive care about their security because any loss of convenience for them is a non-starter. But almost every adult carries around a set of keys for their car or home, and there’s a solution they can use which is every bit as convenient as that.

Thankfully, you can automate this process so that Gmail adds a preset signature at the bottom of outgoing messages instead of you having to think of doing it. Another benefit of automating the process is the amount of information you can add, such as your contact information, address, job title, and more, which you’re definitely willing to enter every time you send an email manually.

Set your messages to expire and prevent them from being shared
Google uses TLS (what is called standard encryption) to keep your emails relatively safe in transit.
