Mensaje: What are the best practices and educational materials for improving the online security of elderly parents who have difficulty with passwords, browsers, email, and device usage?

Some additional information that you may find useful are:

– Online security starts with education. Seniors face the same malware and phishing attacks as everyone else, but they may be more vulnerable simply because they may have less experience navigating technology.

– You can assist a senior to stay safe online by helping them install easy-to-use programs and online tools to protect their internet activity, such as antivirus software, password managers, and virtual private networks (VPNs).

– You can also check the privacy settings on every app, device, and platform that anyone in your household is using, and keep information like your phone number, birthday, or Social Security number private.

– If your parents use the internet, help them install spam protection on their computer or mobile device. You can also add their name to the National Do Not Call Registry, so they don’t receive as many spam messages.

– Here are some tips on how to secure your elderly parent’s online accounts and passwords:

* Create strong passwords that are at least 10 characters long and include a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters. * Enable two-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security to online accounts. * Monitor online activity regularly to ensure there are no unauthorized transactions or suspicious activity.
– If you suspect that your parent has been a victim of an online scam, identity theft, or data breach, you should take immediate action to limit the damage and report the incident to the relevant authorities .

– There are some websites that offer to help you apply for a passport renewal or a new driving licence, but they charge extra money if you use them, rather than going directly through the official government department where the service is free. Be careful of these websites and always use the official web address for any government service.

– You can find some accessible videos free of jargon to help your parents grasp the basics of internet security on YouTube, such as playlist] by Google or one] by Norton. You can also look for online courses or webinars that are designed for seniors, such as one] by Senior Planet or one] by AARP.
