Tips for a Secure Login Experience
1. Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
- Adding a layer of security prevents unauthorized access.
2. Use a Strong Password
- Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Avoid easily guessed words like “12345” or “password.”
3. Avoid Public Wi-Fi
- Logging in on unsecured networks can expose your credentials. Use a VPN if you must connect through public Wi-Fi.
4. Log Out After Use on Shared Devices
- If using a public or shared device, always log out after your session.
