Stay safe / Don’t get hacked
Check out these
tips from Google's Safety Center for ideas including:
- Use a
strong password, and
never share your password.
- Always
SIGN OUT of Google when you leave your computer. Don't just close your browser.
- Set up your computer, laptop, tablet or phone to
automatically lock with a PIN when it goes to sleep.
Don’t download or install the
Google Drive offline feature locally on your computer. Google Drive offline feature will keep that computer logged into your online Google Drive. Only access Google Drive online in the cloud at https://www.google.com/drive
Visit Google’s
Security Checkup often to review your account for suspicious activity and remove unwanted access. (Log into
Google > go to
my account > go to
Security Checkup > Go to
Get started).
If you think your account was hacked, tell your teacher right away so they can help you. If you know it, also
change your password as soon as possible with the Student Password Hub.
