Updated: 0 views

Protect access

Use unique passwords and a password manager; enable two-step verification. Protect the email account used to recover other accounts.

Patch weaknesses

Update operating systems and applications. Verify unexpected urgent login requests through the independently opened official website.

Prepare recovery

Keep a separate backup of important data and test restoration. A backup file alone is not proof of recoverability.

For a business

FinFly’s recommendation: assign responsibility for access, updates and recovery, and record the last check.
