01

Learn Why

Using strong, unique passwords is essential for securing your accounts. They make it significantly harder for attackers to guess or crack them, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Unique passwords also protect you from the fallout of data breaches; if one account is compromised, your other accounts remain safe.

Additionally, they help limit the damage from phishing attacks, as a unique password won’t work on other accounts. Adopting strong passwords encourages good security habits and, when combined with two-factor authentication, adds an extra layer of protection. Overall, strong, unique passwords are a vital part of maintaining your online security.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Activate 2FA wherever possible. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, like a text message or authentication app such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or Microsoft Authenticator.

02

Learn Why

Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) is crucial for protecting your account because it adds an extra layer of security beyond just a password. Even if someone manages to steal your password, they would still need a second piece of information—like a code sent to your phone or an authentication app—to access your account.

This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and helps safeguard your personal information, financial data, and sensitive communications. Using 2FA is a simple but effective way to enhance your online security.

Use a Password Manager

Consider using a password manager to store and generate strong passwords. This makes it easier to manage unique passwords for each account. We recommend 1Password, known for their high quality security, encryption, and commitment to privacy.

Learn Why

Using a password manager is important because it helps you create, store, and manage strong, unique passwords for all your accounts. This reduces the risk of using weak or repeated passwords, which can be easily compromised.

Password managers also simplify the login process and can automatically fill in your credentials, making it easier to maintain good security practices. Overall, they enhance your online safety by keeping your passwords secure and organized, reducing the likelihood of data breaches.
