How do I secure my online video conferencing and messaging apps?
- Enable two-factor authentication: Use two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to ensure that access to your account remains safe. Check with the video conferencing and messaging app that you are using, to see if it supports two-factor authentication.
- Use a secure password: Create a secure password that is unique to each application. Make sure it is long enough (at least 8 characters) and includes characters, numbers and symbols.
- Be aware of risks: Be aware of any potential risks associated with using video conferencing and messaging apps. Be alert to any suspicious communications or links within a conversation, and be vigilant when it comes to sharing your personal information or clicking on links.
- Update regularly : Ensure that the app is regularly updated with the latest version to ensure your security.
- Monitor settings: Enable any available security settings, such as private chat and anonymous enter, to ensure that only authorized users can access the app.
- Join only trusted networks: Limit access to your accounts to trusted networks only.
