**Digital Safety And Online Safety Tips:**

1. **Use Strong Passwords**:

- Create a password that includes a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.

- Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts to prevent a breach across platforms.

- Consider the option of using a password manager that tracks your passwords.

2. **Use Two-Factor Authentication**:

- Two-factor authentication should be used for additional security, especially for important accounts like email, banking, and social networking.

- An extra-level layer of protection exists in the event that one's password has somehow become known.

3. **Watch Out for Phishing Scams**:

- Never click on a link that seems suspicious in an email, text, or website.

- Verify the source before giving out sensitive information, such as personal or financial information.

4. **Keep Your Software Up to Date**:

- Always ensure your devices (phones, tablets, computers) and apps are updated for a constant patch against vulnerabilities.

- Enable auto-updates for convenience.

5. **Use Secure Wi-Fi Connections**:

- Don't use public Wi-Fi for online banking and other sensitive activities.

- Use a VPN (Virtual Private Network) in order to connect to unsecured networks.

6. **Back Up Your Data**:

- Be sure to regularly back up important files, photos, and contacts to cloud storage or to an external hard drive.
