Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
All of these options rank in the top ten most common passwords. Hackers like to move from victim to victim. So if you have a strong password, and they’re not able to get into your system or account, they will most likely move along to the next person.
Another great suggestion is enabling two-factor authentication. If someone does sign into your account, you’ll get a notification via email or text message. This allows you to accept or deny the access attempt. That will let you know that someone is trying to gain access to your account, too, so you can change the password.
To create a strong password, know that it isn’t hard. Using complicated word-number-symbol combinations are hard to remember. But these recommendations are easy to remember and hard for hackers to break!
The security of your bank account, Netflix account and email inbox depends on how well you safeguard your many passwords.
Password management is important. If you like keeping your passwords written down on a physical sheet of paper, we encourage you to purchase a safe to keep that password locked up. If you end up leaving your home to go on vacation, or you’re having people come over to watch your house or sit your dogs, that safe can give you peace of mind.
If you prefer a digital version, there are many different password managers out there today. Applications like LastPass, DashLane, OnePassword are all useful to make your life easier when it comes to managing passwords. What they do is store all your passwords behind one master username and password. They store them in a digital ‘vault’, where you can access them in the future if you need to. Or, they can provide autofill for websites, so you don’t have to remember those passwords.
There are positives and negatives to password managers. Some positives are that they store all your passwords in one place, which makes them easy to find. They also make it easy for you to use autofill on multiple websites.
The downsides are that they are secured behind one username and password. If you lose it, there’s a chance you could lose access to all of your passwords. Another downside is that if someone gains access to that one username and password, they could access your entire password vault. Still, they are great tools to use.

I have had two great sessions with GroovyTek and finally I have learned to use my smartphone calendar! I'm looking forward to my next session.
I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
I had a session with GroovyTek over the phone today. It was extremely helpful to me because I was able to see everything that he was doing on my computer as he was talking. I was then able to follow his actions to do what he was doing as well. What a way to go!
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
GroovyTek did a great job! My trainer was on time, professional and she solved my slow computer. Great job, GroovyTek! I will use your services again.
Excellent help from our GroovyTek trainer. He spent an hour explaining issues that I was confronted with, on my computer, and corrected all my issues and problems. He was concise, knowledgeable and forthright and I will call on him and GroovyTek again whenever I need help and support. I highly recommend GroovyTek services!
It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
