It’s essential to keep your Unitec username and password safe and confidential. Here’s how you can do that:
- Keep It Private: Adhere to the “Electronic Devices and Systems policy” and never share your Unitec credentials with anyone. Sharing can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive information and systems.
- Limit Use: Avoid using your Unitec email address for personal internet activities. This reduces the risk of exposing your credentials on untrusted websites.
- Stay Vigilant: Be aware of potential phishing attacks and scams and complete your phishing training. Protect both your Unitec and personal information by being cautious online.
- Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):
- For Unitec Accounts: MFA is enabled by default to provide an extra layer of security.
- For Personal Accounts: Whenever possible, activate MFA. MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring not only your password but also a second form of verification, such as a text message or an authentication app. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.
By taking these precautions, you play a key role in protecting both your information and Unitec’s data.
