Five Simple Ways to Protect Your Family’s Devices
Most households share devices, and that makes simple security habits more important.
1. Keep everything updated
Turn on automatic updates for your computer, phone and browser. Updates fix security holes.
2. Use security software
A security suite protects against malware and dangerous websites on every device in the house.
3. Use a password manager
Unique passwords for every account stop one leak from unlocking everything.
4. Turn on two-step sign-in
Add it to email, banking and shopping accounts.
5. Talk about scams
- Never share codes sent by text.
- Don’t click links in surprise “delivery problem” messages.
- Ask before installing new apps.
