. The “s” in “https” means your connection is secure. - ✅ Use a Strong, Unique Password: Mix upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Don’t reuse passwords from other websites.
- ✅ Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): If offered, enable 2FA for an extra layer of security. This sends a code to your phone to verify it’s you.
- ✅ Use Biometrics on Mobile: Using Face ID® or your fingerprint is more secure and convenient than typing your password.
- ❌ Avoid Public Wi-Fi: Never log in to your bank account on a public, unsecured Wi-Fi network (like at a coffee shop or airport).
