Account security is a matter of paramount importance when you're navigating the online landscape, and particularly in creating a safe, sacred digital haven for your church community through Choyr. Given the confidential nature of the data and interactions you may handle, safeguarding your account should always be a critical priority. In this guide, we'll delve into detailed practices you can incorporate to fortify your account security.
Keep your password safe
Complexity is key
Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and unique characters to make your password strong. Avoid using easily predictable information like your name, birthdate, or common phrases.
Sharing isn't always caring
Irrespective of the circumstance, never disclose your password to anyone else. This includes close associates, family members, or Choyr staff. Choyr will never ask you for your password.
Regularly update your password
For ongoing security, consider updating your password frequently, roughly every three months. This makes it exponentially harder for unauthorized parties to gain access to your account.
Logout Responsibly
If you're accessing Choyr from a shared or public computer, such as at a library or communal church system, make sure you sign out of your account once the session is concluded. Not doing so could inadvertently expose your account to others who come to use the computer next.
Be Cautious of Suspicious Links
Internal Choyr links
While navigating within Choyr’s environment, be aware of any unusual or unexpected links. If something doesn't seem right, don't click on it. Instead, contact our support team with details of the suspicious link.
External emails
Pay close attention to emails claiming to be from Choyr. Phishing scams often imitate legitimate organizations to trick you into providing your password or personal details. If an email seems suspicious, do not click any links or provide any information. Contact Choyr support for verification.
By implementing robust unique passwords, ensuring you log out in shared settings, and keeping a keen eye for suspicious links, you greatly increase the security of your Choyr account. Constantly being aware of these practices can help create a secure, engaging, and nurturing digital environment for your church community.
