Security & Business Tools
Your security matters. Here are tools and resources to help you stay protected
Account Security
To enhance your security, activate a PIN with the IRS for your Social Security number, ensuring only the individual with that PIN can file on your behalf. Additionally, you can lock your SSN by contacting the credit bureaus.
To prevent fraud, keep your credit cards locked and only unlock when you need to use them.
Password Best Practices
Consider using a password manager, such as Apple's Passwords app, to generate and securely store strong, unique passwords for your accounts. Unique passwords help reduce the risk of one compromised account exposing others.
Add an extra layer of protection by enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA). Authentication apps such as Microsoft Authenticator or Duo can provide additional protection beyond your password.
Phishing Awareness
Avoid opening emails or clicking on links from unknown sources.
Secure File Sharing
Share files using secure methods like fax, password protected files or encrypted methods
