Use strong, unique passwords or passphrases, and never share them.

  • Each of your online accounts should use a unique password or passphrase.
  • Avoid common passwords or easily guessable information such as your name or birthdate. Instead, create complex passwords with a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • You can use a trusted passphrase vault program to help create and track them so you don’t have to remember your credentials for each account.
  • Never share your password or passphrase with anyone, including friends, family, or computer support technicians.

Use multi-factor authentication.

  • Also known as “two-factor authentication”, this feature requires a second credential to verify your identity when logging in to your accounts (for example, using a push notification through Duo).
  • Enable 2FA whenever possible as it significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if your password is compromised.

Keep your personal information current with IU and benefit vendors.

  • Keeping your email, phone number, and address up to date ensures you can be reached immediately if there is a problem with your account.

Monitor your credit report to catch signs of identity theft early.

  • Federal law allows you to receive a free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each of the three nationwide credit reporting agencies by visiting AnnualCreditReport.com.
  • If you’re enrolled in IU-sponsored medical  insurance, you also have access to free identity repair, credit monitoring, and identity monitoring services through AllClear ID.

Be wary of free Wi-Fi.

  • Free Wi-Fi networks, such as unsecured public Wi-Fi available at airports or restaurants, pose security risks for your privacy. Always use a secure network connection when accessing your online accounts.
  • Learn how to secure your devices and protect your home network.

Beware of phishing attacks and scams.

Use antivirus software and keep your apps and software current.

  • Make sure you have trustworthy antivirus software installed and updated to protect your computers and mobile devices from viruses and malware.
  • Keep all your software up to date with the latest patches and upgrades and uninstall programs that you no longer use.

Know how to report identity theft and cybersecurity incidents.
