Secure Your Devices

Checklists and guides for the devices you use every day.

Securing Your Smartphone (iPhone & Android)

Review settings like passcode, Face/Touch ID, and find my phone. Understand how to check for unexpected apps or profiles installed on your device.

Computer Security (Windows & macOS)

Ensure your computer has a strong password, firewall is enabled, and understand how to check for monitoring software. Learn about guest accounts for safer shared use.

Smart Home Devices (Speakers, Cameras, etc.)

Review who has access to your smart home apps. Change passwords for your home Wi-Fi and smart device accounts regularly. Be aware of devices that have microphones or cameras.

Vehicle Systems and GPS

Many modern cars have connected apps that can track the vehicle's location. Review who has access to these accounts and consider disconnecting the feature if you are concerned.
