8. Use Two-Factor or Multi-Factor Authentication.
Two-factor or multi-factor authentication is a service that adds additional
password method of online identification.
Without two-factor authentication, you would normally enter a username and
you would be prompted to enter one additional authentication method such as
Code, another password or even fingerprint.
With multi-factor authentication, you would be prompted to enter more than
methods after entering your username and password.

9. Top New Threats in Mobile Security

10. Protect your passwords.
Never reveal your passwords to anyone. Make them long, strong, unique and
use multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible.
Use a password manager such as LastPass or RoboForm.
Use different passwords for different accounts.
Use different passwords for work and home.
Don't let apps and websites remember your passwords.
Keep your devices, browsers, and apps up to date.
At home, automate software updates and periodically restart your devices to
ensure that updates are fully installed. UC Davis Health IT manages workstation
updates and restarts.

11. Verify requests for private information.
Whenever you are requested to provide private information (yours or anyone
else's), verify the identity of the requester — even if it appears to be somebody
you know.
Con artists are clever in how they collect information to steal information and
identities.
Even if you think you're safe, regularly check your financial statements and credit
reports.
Back up critical files.

USB) to securely store it.
