Have a unique, complex password for every system you use. If a bad actor cracks one username and password, they are likely to try other systems to see if they can get in with the same credentials and they can do this with amazing ease and speed. If you have trouble remembering multiple passwords, use a password manager to store them in a secure manner. NEVER store them in an Excel or Word file on your computer.

Use multi-factor authentication (MFA) as a second layer of defense whenever it is offered. MFA is when the application you are signing into texts you a code or asks you to log in to an app on your phone to get the most recent code to authenticate. This functionality has saved people from breaches many times, yet only 21 percent of nonprofits have their employees using MFA.

Important note: If you receive a request to enter a code and you aren't trying to log in, do not use it and change your password on that application immediately.
