Longwood, Fla., (October 27, 2026) — Matt Rose, CEO and co-founder of Tech Rage IT, a managed IT services and cybersecurity company serving Orlando and Central Florida, appeared on FOX 35’s Good Day Orlando on October 26 to explain how people and businesses can better protect their online accounts as AI tools become more common.
During the interview with anchor Amy Kaufeldt, Rose discussed three practical steps: using passkeys where available, reviewing applications connected to Google and Microsoft accounts, and creating unique passwords with a password manager.
Understanding Which Apps Have Access to Your Accounts
Rose explained that connecting an application to a Google or Microsoft account can grant ongoing access to information such as email, calendars or files, depending on the permissions approved.
“It’s kind of like a hall pass,” Rose said during the interview.
The analogy highlights why users should review account permissions. An application may retain approved access without asking for the account’s password each time it connects. Users should check which apps are connected, understand what information they can access and remove permissions they no longer need.
Passkeys and Password Managers Help Protect Online Accounts
Rose also explained how passkeys offer phishing-resistant authentication, helping protect users from fraudulent websites designed to capture login credentials.
For accounts that still use passwords, he discussed how password managers can generate and store strong, unique passwords. Using a different password for each account helps limit the impact when credentials from one website are compromised.
Account Security Takeaways for Central Florida Businesses
The discussion gives Orlando-area business owners and employees practical topics to address as they evaluate AI tools and other applications that request access to company information.
Reviewing connected apps, checking requested permissions and strengthening sign-in practices can support everyday cybersecurity efforts across the workplace.
