5 ways to help protect your personal information online
  1. 1. Use códigos de acceso para sus dispositivos
    1. If you left your smartphone in a cafe or taxi, would the person who found it be able to access what it contains? That is a terrifying scenario. Be sure to use an access code to help keep your applications, accounts and personal information protected.
    2. 2. Cree contraseñas seguras y únicas para sus cuentas en línea
      1. f you're like me and you have too many online credential sets to keep in memory, consider using a password manager to keep track of those unique passwords. Just do an Internet search for "password managers" and see what suits your needs.
      2. 3. Limit social media sharing
        1. Sharing too much on social media can put your personal information in the wrong hands. The University of Texas Center for Identity offers tips for managing privacy settings on a variety of social media platforms. And when it comes to publishing, make sure they understand what is safe to share and what is not.

That means that with the right tools, anyone else on the same Wi-Fi network could be "listening" to your online activity. Even a password protected Wi-Fi network is as secure as the people with the password. Save transactions for when you're on a secure network, perhaps at home
          2. 5. Close unused accounts
            1. Think of all the online accounts you've opened over time. Spend some time identifying unused online accounts and then closing them. The less personal information you have stored online, the better. No one can avoid all identity theft, but using these tips will help keep your personal information a little more "personal" online, and in this digitally connected era, it's something you should strive for.
