Free Tech Support - IT and Tea - Sat 19th Nov from 11am-1pm
I can't believe a month has passed! But yes, our IT and Tea free tech support is back at Putney Pantry next to St May's Church. If you've never been, it's a chance to ask about any technical issues you may have with mobile phones, tablets, smart devices, computers, broadband and mobile phone contracts, Sky TV and so on. It's a friendly group - the only silly question is the one you don't ask. I'll tell you how, in the last month, I've saved one client literally hundreds of pounds by looking at their mobile phone, Sky TV and broadband contracts. I thought I might spend a little time on PASSWORDS and password etiquette as everybody needs lots of them these days to do anything! The biggest no-no is to use the same password on more than one account, which is an easy way for a crook to access your accounts. So, everybody needs either a little notebook to write their passwords down in, a Word document or Excel spreadsheet (NOT called passwords!) or a password manager program, which can be a lifesaver, provided you remember the master password for that!There are a couple of good free tools you can use to help with the burden of changing passwords - iPhones and iPads have one built-in, and if you use Gmail there is a handy password check-up feature there too. These can show you where you've used the same password more than once, and where they have appeared in leaks online. I hope to see you there - starting at 11 at Putney Pantry. Please buy a drink or a snack to support the venue! Mark PhillipsTechnology Consultant
