Staying Safe Online: Everyday Security Tips

A few simple steps go a long way toward protecting your accounts.

Use a password manager

Unique, long passwords for every site stop one leak from exposing everything.

Turn on two-step verification

Add a second factor to email and banking accounts first.

Be wary of urgent messages

Phishing emails often create pressure. When in doubt, go to the website directly instead of clicking links.

Keep software updated

Updates fix security holes. Enable automatic updates where you can.
