Protect your personal information online with these tips:
Protecting your personal information online
Choose strong passwords
- Set strong, unique passwords for your accounts. Use passphrases for even better security.
- Turn on Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). MFA uses a second step to verify your identity. This can be a one-time passcode (OTP) sent via text or email. Don’t share your passcode with anyone. Rogers support specialists will never ask you for it.
- Check your privacy settings. Make sure you control what's shared publicly on social media,
Safe browsing
- Don’t select spam or pop-ups in emails, apps or websites. Open a new window and search for the official website instead.
- When using public WiFi, don’t access sensitive information like banking or online shopping.
Good habits to have
- Use a passcode or pattern to protect your devices. They have access to personal information, so always lock them when unattended.
- Clear your web browser cache and cookies regularly. This removes session IDs and credentials that may be stored locally.
