Technology SIG

New Technology SIG!

Many women struggle to resolve issues with their electronic devices. 

In 1988 I (Pam E) got my first Apple computer and have loved it ever since. For over 15 years, I have worked as a technical trainer for senior individuals.

This SIG will concentrate on solving your TECH problems. I will present a topic, then we will open it up to your questions.

Topics include: Security, Password Management, Removing Tracking, Managing Files and so on.

Bring your devices and questions. I have experience with both Apple and PC devices.

We will meet on the second Thursday of the month starting March 13, 2025

10:00-11:45am

Golden Valley Library Rm 59 (Library limits the room to 8 people)

830 Winnetka Ave N

April 10, 2025, 9 members of MSP Chapter met at the Golden Valley Library to learn about the Five Golden Rules of Passwords for your computer, smart phone and tablets. 

These include: 

1. Use strong Passwords 8+ characters

2. Do not save passwords as plain Text ie: a document

3. Allow Multifactor Authentication

4. Don’t change your password too often - once a year is enough

5. Allow Notifications when any “conspicuous” activity occurs

The best way to protect your passwords is a password manager. Free options are available on both Apple products (Password App) and Android (Google Chrome). Pay options are also available for both platforms and range in price from $60-70 per year. Highly rate: 1Password, Keeper, and Dashlane Premium. Seach online for others.

May 8 meeting will cover SCAMs and how to avoid being a victim of one.

Attendance is limited to 8 due to room capacity.

Please reply to the reminder email whether or not you will be attending.  The reminder email will go out a few days before the meeting.  To get this email add your name to the Technology Group.
