My website has been https-only for some time now, which is partly due to Snowden but mostly just because it's good Internet hygiene.

There's also been an - unfortunately very slight - uptick on encrypted email usage for me but for the most part I'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.

I also use a password manager and 2FA religiously wherever possible.
