 TITLE: Should You Use a Password Manager? CONTENT: How Else Can I Protect My Information Online?\n---------------------------------------------\nAside from protecting your passwords, what else can you do to safeguard your information online? Here are five tips.\n1.  Don't share too much personal information online. Even simple things like your birthdate and hometown could lead to identity theft and other problems in the wrong hands.\n2.  Be careful with Wi-Fi. Free Wi-Fi provided in public places like airports and coffee shops may be less secure than your Wi-Fi network at home.\n3.  Treat links and attachments with caution. If you receive emails or text messages with links or attachments from unfamiliar sources, it may be an attempt to trick you into sharing personal data like credit card and Social Security numbers.\n4.  Install security software. Technology like anti-malware and anti-virus software can stop hackers, cyberthieves and others from snooping around in your computer.\n5.  Keep an eye out. Services like Experian's dark web scan can help you find out whether your information has been compromised. Identity theft protection from Experian can also help you keep your personal information safe.\n6.  Use two-factor authentication. This is the security feature that sends a text message or email with a code or link you'll use to verify your identity. It may be a mild inconvenience, but using it whenever possible can put a stop to a hacker getting into your account.\nProtecting your personal information online can involve many strategies and requires a careful eye to spot threats. Using a password manager won't cover every aspect of your online and financial life, but it'll help you take care of one very important part of it. END
