Online Safety Essentials: Protect Your Accounts

A free, practical course on keeping your Facebook, WhatsApp, email and mobile money accounts safe: strong passwords, two-step login, spotting scams and what to do if you are hacked.

Online Safety Essentials: Protect Your Accounts
Most hacked accounts are not broken into by clever hackers. They are lost to simple tricks and small habits that are easy to fix.

This free course teaches the habits that protect you and your business online: how accounts are really stolen, how to build strong passwords, how to switch on two-step login, how to recognise phishing and code-sharing scams, how to stay safe on phones and public Wi-Fi, and exactly what to do if the worst happens.

Finish all six lessons and pass the short final quiz to earn a certificate.
No technical knowledge needed. If you use a phone, social media, email or mobile money, this course is for you.
