• Don't use your username as part of your password

A Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) certificate protects you in multiple ways:

It is very easy for fraudsters to create a fake web site that looks like an official company site. The purpose of this is to direct users to their fake site, via email or other means, to gather usernames and passwords.

Malicious users can then sign in to your account posing as you and change your system settings and run reports gathering information about your business activities.

Using a software-based authenticator app, two-step authentication can be enabled on your account. When used, you sign in as usual and are then required to supply the authentication code from your authenticator app.

Using the standard time-based One-time Password Algorithm (TOTP) and HMAC-based One-time Password algorithm (HOTP), the two-step code is compatible with multiple apps that you may already have installed on your phone.

Before signing in, always confirm the address bar shows https://tim4biz.com with a padlock. If anything looks unusual — a misspelt domain, missing padlock, or a certificate warning — close the tab and contact us directly.
