\n▪\u00a0<\/span>Email Accounts<\/strong>: Review, archive, file and delete unnecessary emails. We also recommend that you empty your trash folder, and unsubscribe to recurring emails that no longer interest you.
\n▪\u00a0<\/span>Social Media<\/strong>: It is a good idea to periodically review your security settings and connections.
\n▪\u00a0<\/span>Devices<\/strong>: Smartphones, tablets, laptops and computers make our lives so much easier. Consider removing unused apps and clear out any downloads you aren\u2019t using anymore. Make sure your device requires a password, pin, or fingerprint to log in.
\n▪\u00a0<\/span>Web Browser Settings<\/strong>: Many browsers can store your passwords or autofill settings. Take a few minutes to check your browser settings, clear out old data, and ensure your browser\u2019s security settings are still keeping you safe.
