Protect accounts with MFA and passkeys
Add a second factor — preferably phishing-resistant options like passkeys or FIDO security keys — on email and other valuable accounts.
Read guideUse unique passwords and a password manager
Long, unique passwords (or passphrases) for every account — stored in a password manager so you are not reusing secrets across sites.
Read guideRecognize phishing and verify unusual requests
Treat unexpected messages that push urgency, secrecy, or money movement as suspicious — and verify through a known-good channel.
Read guideKeep devices and software updated
Apply operating system and application updates promptly — preferably with automatic updates — so known vulnerabilities get patched.
Read guideBack up important data and test recovery
Keep copies of critical files off the primary device, encrypt where appropriate, and periodically confirm you can restore.
Read guideUnderstand when a VPN helps
Separate personal privacy VPNs from employer remote-access VPNs — and remember a VPN does not replace HTTPS, MFA, or phishing awareness.
