Protecting yourself online and using security precautions can help protect your identity and personal information.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ways you can protect yourself online<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Using strong passwords:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Passwords provide security to your accounts, keeping unauthorized users out. When creating a password, it is important to create one that is unique and does not contain any personal information that would be easily accessible for someone to find on the internet (i.e: name, family member’s name, birth date, pet’s name). Try using a mix of numbers and signs (i.e: “%”, “!”, “$”).<\/li>\n
  2. Avoid using unsecured Wi-Fi<\/span>: Using unsecured Wi-Fi can make you vulnerable to hackers and hacker access. Try using a VPN, virtual private network, when you are unable to access privately secure internet access. Using a VPN will allow the date you send and receive to be encrypted, making it more difficult for hackers to intercept your network.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  3. Use two-factor authentication<\/span>: Two-factor authentication is a method of digital authentication that requires you to verify your identity further after entering your password into one of your accounts. Two-factor authentication may work by either sending a notification to your phone number or email, asking you to enter an additional code, or by having you answer additional security questions.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
