Non-Negotiable Security Habits
Simple habits that make a real difference in protecting your online life
01 Turn On Two-Factor Authentication
Even if someone steals your password, they still cannot get into your account without your phone or security key.
02 Check What Your Apps Can See
Take a few minutes each month to review which apps have access to your camera, location, and contacts. Remove access from apps you do not use anymore.
03 Never Reuse Passwords
When one site gets hacked, criminals try those stolen passwords everywhere. Use a different password for every account to keep the damage contained.
04 Install Updates When They Appear
Those annoying update notifications exist for a reason. They fix security holes that hackers actively exploit. Update your phone, computer, and apps as soon as you can.
05 Hover Before You Click
Scammers disguise malicious links to look legitimate. Before clicking any link in an email or text, hover over it to see where it really goes. When in doubt, type the address yourself.
