WiFi, but no Internet?
Occasionally, when you're connected to a strong WiFi signal, you may find that you can't actually call up any web pages or send any emails. There are a few reasons why this can be the case and we'll run through some ideas that can help you get online here.
How to securely send a password
Temporary Password is a good way to send passwords securely, as it is a one time only use link, that way when you send over the link to someone in an email, once you confirm they have the password it's not going to be stored in your emails.
Securing the files on your device with encryption
Everyone knows how important it is to keep the files on your desktop, laptop or mobile device safe and secure. With all your photos, personal and work documents and other files stored across multiple devices, stopping people getting access to those files is very important.
In this tip, we'll show you how to make sure that all your devices are encrypted which means that even if someone steals your device, they shouldn't be able to steal any of your files.
Record your training and motivational videos directly onto your Mac
If you're a Mac user and often record training or motivational messages to post out on social media or on your website, did you know that you can record these videos using the free QuickTime Player app that's included with all Macs?
This can save you buying additional software or recording yourself with a system like Zoom or Teams which can be overkill if you just need to record yourself speaking. You can even trim the start and end off your videos to give them that professional finish.
In this tip, we'll show you how to do this.
