Encrypt your computer (which will make it harder for someone to get into it). Use more complex passwords (lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols). Use open-source software (or at least the ones that are fully offline / can turn off tracking). Using physical devices (not bluetooth) where possible (as someone could be nearby and see that you use that brand of mouse). Turn off microphone and camera when not using it (physical switch is better, if possible).

You don’t need a complex password; a long list of unrelated words is enough. Also use a strong key derivation method like argon2id. Look up “luks nixos”

Don’t type your password where someone’s smart device can hear it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/aug/08/ai-could-identify-passwords-by-sound-of-keys-being-pressed-study-suggests
