How do you ensure a secure account?
Cloud-based work is efficient and nowadays hard to imagine without. But what should you consider so that you not only work efficiently, but also work securely and manage data safely?
Find out why account security in easybill is so important and what measures you should take.
How do I protect my important data?
Often 2FA is perceived as rather annoying because it keeps taking time—especially when you’re in a hurry. Do you urgently need to write an invoice? Or is your potential new customer waiting for an urgent quote?
The key word for your account security in this case is, of course, “two-factor authentication”. Nevertheless, account security must not play a subordinate role here.
For example, in your easybill account you manage not only important internal information about items and revenue, but also customer data—for which you are responsible.
Is easybill protected against external access?
The most important measure: a secure password
In easybill itself, there are many safeguards in place that make access virtually impossible. For user security—or company security—the account offers the option to determine, for example, how many characters a login password must contain.
Ideally, passwords should be created using a password generator. It’s best to recommend such a generator to your employees. Otherwise, most passwords are often based on personal associations and are too easy for others to figure out.
The combination of a secure, long password and a second factor for login is entirely in your hands!
Password checklist:
- Use a combination of upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. (Use at least 12 characters.)
- Avoid common words or sequences of words.
- Avoid information that is easy to guess (e.g., date of birth or address).
- Ideally, use a password manager to generate and manage all passwords.
Always keep an eye on account access
Via the account activities, you can view access at any time by IP address. You can also define settings here and specify certain IP addresses that are permitted to log in.
Although working from home has become established in many industries, data protection must still always be ensured for employees outside the office—at home within their own four walls.
