Your safety and privacy are extremely important. While goLance works to keep your data secure, protecting your account also depends on following good security practices.
Below are some recommended steps you can take to help keep your goLance account and personal information safe.
Keep Your Computer and Software Updated
Make sure you regularly update:
- Your operating system
- Internet browsers
- Antivirus software
- Other applications installed on your computer
Keeping software updated helps protect your device from security vulnerabilities and known threats.
Scan Your Computer Regularly
Run regular antivirus and malware scans on your computer.
We recommend:
- Scanning your device at least once a week
- Enabling automatic scans if available
Regular scans help detect and remove harmful software before it can compromise your information.
Back Up Your Data
Regularly back up important files and information in case:
- Your computer crashes
- Your hard drive fails
- You lose access to your device
You can use:
- External hard drives
- Cloud storage services
Keeping backups helps prevent data loss.
Be Careful What You Download
Avoid downloading files or software from untrusted sources, including:
- Unknown websites
- Suspicious emails
- Unverified attachments
Malicious downloads are one of the most common ways attackers gain access to personal information and devices.
Use Secure Websites (SSL / HTTPS)
Only enter personal or financial information on secure websites.
You can identify secure websites by:
- “https” in the URL
- A padlock icon in the browser address bar
Secure websites use SSL encryption to help protect your data.
Use Strong Passwords
Create passwords that are:
- Unique
- Difficult to guess
- Different from passwords used on other websites
Strong passwords should include:
- Uppercase letters
- Lowercase letters
- Numbers
- Symbols
We also recommend changing your password regularly, ideally every 90 days.
Keep Your Passwords Private
To better protect your account:
- Do not share your password with anyone
- Avoid reusing the same password across multiple sites
You may also consider using a password manager to securely store your passwords.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your account.
When enabled, you will need to enter a verification code sent to your phone or email when logging in.
This helps protect your account even if someone gains access to your password.
Following these security best practices can help protect your account, your personal information, and your work on goLance.
