Certainly! Here are some tips and resources to help you stay safe and secure online, especially when using Google services:

• Google Safety Centre: Visit the Google Safety Centre for comprehensive information on internet safety, safe browsing, and privacy settings. It covers various aspects of online security and provides valuable guidance.
• Security Checkup:
  • Take the Security Checkup provided by Google. It offers personalized recommendations to strengthen the security of your Google Account.
  • Enable 2-Step Verification to add an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access. This requires a secondary factor (like a text message or authentication app) in addition to your password.
• Password Management:
  • Use strong and unique passwords for each account. Google’s built-in Password Manager helps you securely store and manage your passwords.
  • Regularly check your saved passwords using the Password Checkup tool to ensure their security.
• Avoid Phishing:
  • Be cautious of suspicious URLs or links. Hover over a link or long-press it on mobile to verify its legitimacy before clicking.
  • Always ensure that the URL begins with “https” to indicate a secure connection.
  • Watch out for impersonators who may pose as legitimate organizations.
• Privacy Settings:
  • Customize your privacy settings in Google services. Review what information you share and adjust accordingly.
  • Consider using a private browser, disabling location tracking, and restricting profile information3.

Remember that staying informed and practicing good online habits are essential for maintaining your privacy while benefiting from Google’s services.
