Two-Factor Authentication adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.

It requires a second step like a code sent to your phone or email.

Even if someone steals your password, they can't log in without the second factor.

Enable 2FA wherever possible, especially for email, banking, and social media.

Always check that the website URL starts with https:// before entering any personal details.

The “s” in HTTPS stands for secure—it means your data is encrypted.

Look for a padlock icon in the address bar as a sign of a secure connection.

Avoid entering sensitive information on sites without HTTPS.

Always log out of your accounts when you're done, especially on shared or public devices.

Staying logged in can leave your personal data exposed to others.

Early detection of unauthorized access can help prevent bigger problems.

Set up alerts for login attempts or transactions when possible.

Regular monitoring keeps you in control of your personal information.

Browsers may store login details even after you log out.

Always clear browsing data and log out after use.

It's especially useful when using public Wi-Fi networks.

It hides your IP address and keeps your browsing private.

Use a trusted VPN service for secure and anonymous online activity.

Keep your operating system, browsers, and apps up to date.

Updates often fix security flaws that hackers can exploit.

Enable automatic updates whenever possible for convenience.

Regular updates strengthen your device’s protection against threats.
