as a technical issue.
00:07
And it can be.
00:08
But a big part of online safety involves simple, smart
00:11
practices like selecting good passwords.
00:15
You can think of your password like the code
00:17
to a vault where you keep your most valuable documents
00:19
and information.
00:21
Make sure your password is strong.
00:22
And don't share it with others.
00:24
00:28
To create a strong password, use a mix of lower and upper case
00:31
letters, numbers, and symbols.
00:33
And make it between eight and nine characters long.
00:38
Avoid using any identifiable information
00:40
such as your name, address, phone number,
00:43
or personal information that is easy to guess,
00:45
like your pet's name, name of your school,
00:47
your favorite team, et cetera.
00:50
Choose a different password for each
00:52
of your important accounts, like your email, social network,
00:56
and online banking accounts.
00:58
Reusing passwords is risky.
01:00
If someone figures out the password for one
01:02
of your accounts, it's possible they could get access
01:05
to your personal information or other online services
01:07
that you use.
01:09
But how can you create a different password
01:11
for each account that meets all this criteria
01:14
and that's easy to remember?
01:16
The answer is simple.
01:18
You can create a passphrase.
01:20
To create a passphrase, first think
01:22
of a sentence that's easy for you to remember.
01:24
For example, I met Alice in San Francisco in 2011.
01:29
Now, take the first letter of each word in the sentence
01:32
and use it to create your passphrase.
01:35
Where possible, convert words into symbols
01:37
to make your passphrase stronger.
01:39
There you have it.
01:42
You can add an extra layer of security
01:44
by enabling two factor authentication,
01:46
the security process where logging into a service
01:49
requires two steps.
01:51
For instance, you could have to enter your password as usual,
01:54
followed by a code that was texted to your phone.
01:57
Two factor authentication protects your account
01:59
with something that you know, your password, and something
02:02
that you have, your cell phone.
02:04
This means that if someone steals or guesses
02:07
your password, they still can't sign into your account
02:09
because they don't have your phone.
02:11
02:15
Now you know how to sign in safely into your account.
02:18
But it's equally important to know when to log out.
02:21
If you're using a public or shared computer,
02:24
such as a computer at a library, internet cafe,
02:27
or even a friend's house, sign out of your account
02:29
before leaving the computer.
02:31
Otherwise, the person who uses the computer after you
02:34
may have access to your account.
02:36
02:38
Great.
02:39
Now let's talk about privacy and security settings.
02:42
Forgetting your password or getting
02:44
locked out of your account can be a frustrating experience.
02:47
No one wants to lose access to their emails, documents,
02:50
or photos.
02:52
To make sure you can get back into your account
02:54
quickly and easily, it's important to set up
02:56
password recovery options.
02:58
Most online services will give you
03:00
the option of adding a recovery phone number or email
03:02
address to your account.
03:05
This way, you can receive a numeric code
03:07
or link to reset your password and regain access
03:10
to your account.
03:11
It's important to set up your recovery options
03:13
before this happens.
03:16
Take some time to explore other privacy and security
03:18
settings on the online services that you use.
03:22
Change your password if you suspect unusual activity
03:24
in your account.
03:25
And become familiar with the privacy policy, which
03:28
will tell you what information about you
03:30
is collected and stored and for what purposes.
03:34
When using social networks, make sure to review the privacy
03:37
and security settings to decide what information
03:40
is visible in your profile, who can view your posts, photos,
03:44
videos, or other content that you share.
03:47
Now, you know how to take care of your personal safety
03:50
and your account when you're online.
