Security Practices

Reduce the Risk of Unauthorized Access

Unique Password

Use a password that you do not use on other websites. A password manager can help create and store strong passwords.

Secure Your Email

Your email may be used for account recovery. Protect it with strong credentials and available multi-factor authentication.

Check Links

Avoid signing in through unexpected links. Check the website address carefully before entering credentials.

Trusted Devices

Keep your operating system and browser updated and avoid installing unknown applications or extensions.

Trusted Networks

Avoid sensitive account activity over untrusted public networks where possible.

Watch for Impersonation

Do not send passwords, recovery information or verification codes to anyone claiming to be support.

If You Suspect Unauthorized Access

Change your account and email passwords from a trusted device, review available account activity, and contact SMC Support using the contact information published on this website.
