Lock It Down- Protecting Your Office Computer

Do you work in an office where others could possibly have access to your computer? It’s easy for someone to hop on your desktop while you’re taking a restroom break or out to lunch. Protect yourself with a couple of easy tips.

Create a log-in (if you don’t have one already) for your computer that is password protected. Don’t share your password with anyone, and don’t make it something easy like your child’s name or your birth date. (I know, one more password, but make it something you can remember!)
When leaving your workstation, lock your computer so that no one can access the information on it. This way your information stays safe. No one is able to look through your files or access important documents.

Locking your computer is just like logging off without having to reboot when you’re ready to get back to work. Two ways to do this are:

Press and hold the “Windows” key. Press “L” and this locks the computer.
Press and hold the “Ctrl” key, “Alt” and hit “Delete.” This will not delete anything! It will bring up the Windows Security window and give you different options, one being to lock your computer.

Upon returning to your desk, press “Ctrl” “Alt” and “Delete” again to enter your log-in and password. This will restore your desktop to how it was when you left.

Keep your information secure!
