Cyber criminals spend their days trying to deceive us into giving up our information, tamper with our devices and even steal our identities.

When authenticating to online accounts, we can use different identities/usernames/emails for different services; separate work and personal accounts; practice good password hygiene (see our password tips above); and enroll in the MFA schemes provided by online service providers (join the MFA presentation with Ryan and Pier-luc).

Doing even some of these things will make it more challenging for attackers to target us and our colleagues in phishing attacks, to engage in credential stuffing or password guessing.
