Encrypt Your Wi-Fi
PSMail Quick Tip: Be sure to encrypt your Wi-Fi. When you install a wireless network, it’s tempting to keep the vendor’s default network name and leave the network unencrypted. But doing so is an open invitation to your neighbors and anyone else within range to help themselves to your Internet connection.
Don’t Save Passwords
PSMail Quick Tip: Although it’s convenient to have your computer remember your login and password for various websites, it’s a security risk. At PSMail, we recommend that you always decline that shortcut – especially on secure sites.
Multiple Passwords
PSMail Quick Tip: For added security, don’t use the same password for all of the sites you access. In addition, never store your passwords in the same location as your computer, laptop, or wireless device.
