This document provides guidance on basic online and mobile security. It discusses setting up two-step verification for Google accounts for added protection, how to remotely lock or wipe a lost Android phone, and tips for creating strong passwords using a variety of characters rather than just relying on length alone. Setting up two-step verification involves going to the security settings and confirming your phone number, then entering verification codes. You can remotely manage an Android phone by enabling features in the device settings and Google Device Manager. Creating complex passwords is recommended by varying capitalization, alternating numbers and symbols, using multiple languages, or creating acronyms from phrases.

21. Remote your smart phone
1. First you need to make sure that you have turned it on, which you can do
by following this quick tutorial:
2. Go to the Google Setttings of your Android device.
3. Tap on Android Device Manager at the bottom of the list
4. Check the box for Remotely locate this device
5. Check box for remote lock and factory reset.
6. To the Settings of your phone.
7. Tap on Security and then Device administrator. Make sure the Android
Device Manager is ticked off there.
8. Now that you have done this, you can remotely lock and wipe your
device in case of theft or loss. To do this, go to the Device Manager
website.
9. The path to activate this feature might differ depending on your device,
but in general should be the same as it's a Google service and not one
from your phone's manufacturer.

Password
It is important to use different types of characters when
choosing a password. This can be done in various ways:
Varying capitalisation, such as: 'My naME is Not
MR. MarSter'
Alternating numbers and letters, such as: 'a11 w0Rk
4nD N0 p14Y'
Incorporating certain symbols, such as:
'c@t(heR1nthery3'
Using multiple languages, such as: 'Let Them Eat 1e
gateaU au ch()colaT

Passwords can also take advantage of more
traditional mnemonic devices, such as the use of
acronyms. This allows long phrases to be turned into
complex, seemingly-random words:
'To be or not to be? That is the question' becomes
'2Bon2B?TitQ
'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men
are created equal' becomes 'WhtT2bs-e:taMac=
'Are you happy today?' becomes 'rU:-)2d@y?'
31. Strong Password not Long
Password
A little effort to make the password more complex
goes a very long way. Increasing the length of a
password even just by a few characters, or by adding
numbers or special characters, makes it much more
difficult to crack. For demonstrative purposes, the
table below shows how much longer it may take a
hacker to break a list of progressively more complex
passwords by trying different combinations of the
password one after another.
