Thanks for your feedback! I just wanted to clarify that I'm not your average 15-year-old. I've been actively involved in security testing, malware analysis, and have even been in trouble after hacking into my school's system when I was 14—so I understand the weight of security and the challenges involved.

That said, I definitely respect the complexity of the field and the importance of experience. I’m still learning every day and appreciate the insights from more seasoned professionals. While I may have had some early experiences, I realize there’s always more to learn, especially when it comes to ensuring my systems are truly secure and ready for the real world.

I’ll be taking the feedback seriously and continuing to build on my knowledge. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts!

If you've not seen it already, Ross Anderson's book is both excellent and free (second edition at least, third edition has free chapters and doesn't cost much)

Security Engineering: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/book.html

His student network social's are filled with examples of defeating various commercial security systems.

Also it’s super obvious this text is AI “enhanced” (if not entirely synthetic from your notes?).

That’s why folks all said the same thing. Real security people don’t talk like this.

Be really careful. You are at an age at a point in history where most written text you are going read is AI slop. Don’t be part of the problem here.

Written entirely by a human with no AI assistance.

I did the same thing at your age, re school, so I understand. I also liked coming up with auth schemes.

One thing I would suggest is dropping the mail component and not involving it at all - you are using this as a weak second factor, exportable; monthly rotation. Bind it to a hardware key instead and use proper cryptography.
