October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month Quick steps to protect your accounts, devices, and family. | | Throughout the month, we’re sharing simple actions that make a significant difference. Start with the three tips below—each takes just a couple of minutes. | 1) Turn on Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) Add a second step to the login process (either via code or app). Start with email and banking—this blocks most account takeovers. |
| 2) Use Strong, Unique Passwords Avoid reusing the same password. A password manager helps you create and store unique passwords for every site. |
| 3) Keep Devices Updated Turn on automatic updates for phones, computers, and smart home devices. Updates fix known security issues. |
| Spot a Phish Quickly: Check the sender and hover over links before clicking.
Watch for urgent language, odd spelling, or requests for personal info.
When in doubt, visit the official website directly. | |
