The fist step is to be secure about your password. The passwords you use should be as secure if not more so that the combination you would use on a safe with your most precious valuables in them. This means, as Phil explains, don’t use your name, or your partner’s name, or your child’s name, etc. Instead pick something that would be hard for someone else to guess. The second step, as Phil demonstrates with a picture of a friends laptop, is don’t write that password down! You can only be so safe if someone can just look over you shoulder as you pull a slip of paper and read your password.
The internet can be a tricky road full of dead ends and digital flat tires. Phil May is here to help you navigate the super information highway safely on this episode of GadgetPlex!
