CyTip 14:

Password reminders in your browser is a great feature, it keeps from entering the same password again and again every time you log in to a website but they also might cause a problem if many users use the same computer / device. 

From accessing your personal social profile to purchasing items online without your authorization or knowledge. Here are some tips to prevent this from happening:

1- Don’t let everyone in you household access the same device with the same login. Create different profiles with different loins. Make sure NONE of them are an admin but you.


2- While some sites (like Amazon) don’t let you purchase unless you enter the password again during the checkout process most other sites don’t. Just make sue you DON’T save you password on any online shopping site and to completely logout after any purchase process.


3- If your device does not allow creating multiple users with different logins DON’T save any password on your browser is other people use the same device.


Have a happy and safe surfing.
