Tech Tips: Gmail Security

 

Make sure you do the GoogleDocs Tech Tip first, before you do any other tips this semester.

 

I would like to urge EVERYBODY to complete this Gmail Security Checklist. Even if you do not use Gmail as your primary email, this is still a very useful checklist because it also relates to your use of GoogleSites, GoogleDocs and any other Google services for which you use your Gmail log-on.

 

In particular, pay attention to Part Three: Your Google Account. This is where you can update your account recovery options, so that if you forget your password or your account is compromised in some way, Google will be able to identify you so that you can get a new password and access your account. Google will let you set up an alternate email address to use for a requesting a new password, or you can set up a cell phone number to use for that purpose - and make sure you also choose a good security question, too!

 

 

When you are done, send me an email to let me know you completed this tip. Make sure you use this subject line: TechTip Gmail Security.

 

When you have sent in the email, you can enter this tip on your GoogleDocs Checklist and then do the Gradebook Declaration for Extra Credit. Here is the text of the Gradebook Declaration you will complete:

 

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

I have completed the Technology Tip assignment and sent the instructor an email as required.
