Before You Get Started
Limit personal information on public sites
Use proper privacy settings Practice strong security
Limit Personal Information
Assume everything you post can be seen by anybody, regardless of your settings.
Either don’t share personal info at all, or use your privacy settings to limit who can see it. Maiden names Dates of birth Kids dates of birth Schools Anything that correlates with any security question you’ve ever
answered on- or off-line. Don’t EVER share other people’s personal info without permission. This
includes tagging them!
Tighten Your Personal Security Settings
Don’t friend people you don’t know! Never friend somebody more than once (the 2nd is often a spoofed
account) Limit posts to be viewable by only your friends Limit sharing Limit photo tagging Remove location services Limit 3rd party applications
Passwords and Logins
Use strong passwords At least 8 characters, using letters, numbers, and
symbols Use an encrypted password manager, like LastPass,
Password Keeper, etc. Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
Requires you to do two things to login (enter a code from a text, click a button on an app, etc.)
