Passwords and backing up

 

I have always said that the biggest issue which we get at our Digital Support sessions is problems with Passwords, mostly forgotten and not being able to recover them. The session this week was about keeping passwords safe and secure using the various methods available to us. I emphasised the use of a Password Manager namely Bitwarden, which is highly recommended by the IT press and media, but there are others.

I also gave another presentation about Backups, as this is an issues which caused much grief. Loosing files and especially photographs can be disastrous for many people. So having a robust system of backing up your files etc is essential.

Steve gave us a well designed couple of talks on two important subjects: Backing up your data Text and photos so that you keep it safe and secure. Dealing with the use of passwords to ensure your use of the Internet is safe. Emphasis on using Password Managers to do this.

Please do take heed, get the passwords sorted and backed up somewhere along with your files and photos.
