Five Quick Wins for Better Security

You don't need to be a tech expert to improve your security. Start with these simple actions today.

  • Enable two-factor authentication on your email

    Your email is the key to all your other accounts. Protect it with an extra layer of security beyond your password.

  • Update your most-used passwords

    If you've been using the same password for years, it's time for a change. Start with your banking and social media accounts.

  • Check your social media privacy settings

    Review who can see your posts, photos, and personal information. Limit access to friends and family you trust.

  • Install pending software updates

    Those update notifications exist for a reason. Updates often fix security vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

  • Review your connected apps and services

    Check which third-party apps have access to your accounts and revoke permissions for ones you no longer use.
