Top Question:
What are best practices for securing my mobile device(s)?
Best Answer:
- End-to-End Encryption: Use encrypted messaging apps compatible with both iOS and Android.
- FIDO Authentication: Enroll in Fast Identity Online (FIDO) hardware or biometric MFA, and disable less secure forms of multi-factor identification.
- Migrate Away from SMS-based MFA: Replace SMS text codes with authenticator apps or FIDO, as SMS codes are vulnerable to interception.
- Password Managers: Use password managers that securely store passwords, generate authenticator codes and flag weak passwords.
- App Downloads & Permissions: Use trusted stores, check reviews and access permissions before installing.
- Screen Lock: Set a strong passcode or enable biometrics.
- Updates: Turn on automatic updates for necessary security patches.
