If you are using Mac iOS on an iPad you need a personal cybersecurity strategy for using it.
By following this system, you will be aware of where your passwords are being stored and how to access them and stay secure.
Ensuring that you have a clear seperation between personal passwords are the passwords for your business.
One great way of doing this is to use Safari (and iCloud password manager) for you and Chrome (and Google password manager) for your business.
You can also use Firefox as a third option for general web browsing. It can be set to delete all history, cookies and cache on close, removing those pesky cookies and find the real best prices!
Separation between Personal and Business Web Browsing:
Personal Browsing:
Safari + iCloud Keychain
Business Browsing:
Chrome + Google Password Manager
