In the landscape of hybrid work, our personal devices have become more than mere tools – they can also be our companions in work productivity. For safe and effective account management on your personal devices while working remotely, follow these five tips:

1. Create a password-protected user account that you only use for work.
2. Create a separate account for everything else, including online shopping, casual web browsing, watching Netflix, etc. Where possible, create additional accounts for anyone else who might use your computer.
3. Make sure your work account automatically locks after short periods of inactivity. This will prevent accidental use of your work account by other users.
4. Limit yourself to one administrative account on your computer that is used to authorize updates.
5. Use different passwords to access each account. Follow these tips for creating strong passwords.
