📚 Mondosol Help Center

Your account security starts with you. While Mondosol implements robust security measures, your personal actions play a crucial role in protecting your account. Therefore, follow these best practices to keep your Mondosol account safe from unauthorized access.

🔑 Password Security Best Practices

Your password serves as your first line of defense. As a result, creating and maintaining a strong password is essential:

Create a Strong Password

First and foremost, focus on these key elements:

• Minimum Length: Use at least 12 characters (longer is better)
• Mix Character Types: Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters
• Avoid Common Words: Don’t use dictionary words, names, or dates
• Make It Unique: Never reuse passwords from other accounts
• Use Passphrases: Consider a memorable phrase like “Coffee@Sunrise2025!”

Password Don’ts

On the other hand, avoid these common mistakes:

❌ Don’t use “password123” or similar weak passwords
❌ Don’t share your password with anyone (even family or friends)
❌ Don’t write passwords on sticky notes or unsecured documents
❌ Don’t use the same password across multiple sites
❌ Don’t include personal information (birthdays, pet names, addresses)

Password Management Tools

Additionally, consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords:

• Recommended Tools: 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden, Dashlane
• Benefits: Generate strong passwords, auto-fill login forms, sync across devices
• Security: These tools encrypt your storage with master password protection

Regular Password Changes

Furthermore, update your password regularly:

• Change Every 3-6 Months: Regular updates reduce your risk
• Change Immediately If: You suspect compromise or use public computers
• Update After Breaches: If hackers compromise any of your accounts elsewhere

How to Change Your Password:

1. First, log in to your Mondosol account
2. Next, go to Settings → Security
3. Then, click Change Password
4. After that, enter your current password and new password
5. Finally, click Update Password

🛡️ Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)

Beyond passwords, add an extra security layer with 2FA:

What Is Two-Factor Authentication?

Essentially, 2FA requires two forms of verification:

1. Something You Know: Your password
2. Something You Have: Your phone or authentication device

Consequently, even if someone steals your password, they can’t access your account without your second factor.

How to Enable 2FA on Mondosol

To get started, follow these simple steps:

1. First, log in to your account
2. Then, navigate to Settings → Security
3. Next, find Two-Factor Authentication
4. After that, click Enable 2FA
5. Subsequently, choose your preferred method (authenticator app or SMS)
6. Then, scan the QR code with your authenticator app
7. Finally, enter the verification code to confirm

Best 2FA Methods

In terms of security, some methods work better than others:

Most Secure (Recommended):

• Authenticator Apps: Google Authenticator, Authy, Microsoft Authenticator
• Why Better: These apps work offline and hackers can’t intercept them
• How They Work: The apps generate time-based codes that refresh every 30 seconds

Less Secure (But Better Than Nothing):

• SMS Text Messages: Codes sent to your phone
• Why Less Secure: Hackers can intercept SMS through SIM swapping
• When to Use: If authenticator apps aren’t available

Backup Codes:

• What They Are: One-time codes you save for emergencies
• When to Use: If you lose your phone or can’t access your 2FA device
• How to Store: Keep them in a secure location (password manager or safe)

💻 Device Security Measures

Moving beyond account settings, secure the devices you use to access Mondosol:

Keep Software Updated

Most importantly, always install updates promptly:

• Operating System: Update Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android regularly
• Browser: Keep Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge current
• Security Software: Update antivirus and anti-malware programs
• Why It Matters: Updates patch security vulnerabilities that hackers exploit

Use Antivirus Protection

In addition, install reputable security software:

• Recommended Options: Norton, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Windows Defender
• What They Do: These programs detect and block malware, viruses, and threats
• Regular Scans: Schedule weekly full system scans

Secure Your Network

Moreover, protect your internet connection:

• Home Wi-Fi: Change your router’s default password
• Encryption: Enable WPA3 or WPA2 encryption
• Guest Network: Create a separate network for visitors
• Public Wi-Fi: Avoid accessing sensitive accounts on public networks

Use a VPN on Public Networks

If you must use public Wi-Fi, protect yourself with a VPN:

• What VPNs Do: They encrypt your internet traffic
• Recommended Services: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, ProtonVPN
• When to Use: Coffee shops, airports, hotels, libraries

🖥️ Safe Browsing Habits

Beyond technical measures, practice smart online behavior:

Log Out After Each Session

Especially important when using shared or public devices:

• Always Log Out: Click the logout button, don’t just close the browser
• Clear Browser Data: Delete cookies and cache on public computers
• Private Browsing: Use incognito/private mode on shared devices

Recognize Phishing Attempts

Similarly, learn to spot fake emails and websites:

Red Flags to Watch For:

• Suspicious Sender: Email addresses that don’t match official Mondosol domains
• Urgent Language: “Your account will be closed!” or “Act now!”
• Spelling Errors: Poor grammar and typos in official-looking emails
• Suspicious Links: Hover over links to see the actual URL before clicking
• Unexpected Attachments: Don’t open attachments you didn’t request

What Mondosol Will NEVER Do:
❌ Ask for your password via email
❌ Request sensitive information through unsecured channels
❌ Send urgent threats about account closure
❌ Include suspicious links or attachments

If You Receive a Suspicious Email:

1. Don’t click any links or attachments
2. Don’t reply to the email
3. Forward it to eliomondello@mondosol.com
4. Delete the email immediately

Verify Website Authenticity

Before entering your credentials, always check:

• Correct URL: Ensure you’re on mondosol.com (not mond0sol.com or similar)
• HTTPS Protocol: Look for the padlock icon in your browser
• Security Certificate: Click the padlock to verify the certificate

👀 Monitor Your Account Activity

Regularly, review your account for suspicious activity:

Check Login History

To view your recent logins:

1. First, go to Settings → Security
2. Then, click Login History
3. Review: Dates, times, locations, and devices
4. Look For: Unfamiliar locations or devices

Review Account Changes

Additionally, monitor for unauthorized modifications:

• Profile Updates: Changes to name, email, or profile picture
• Password Changes: Reset requests you didn’t initiate
• Payment Methods: New cards or billing addresses
• Course Enrollments: Courses you didn’t purchase

Set Up Security Alerts

Furthermore, enable notifications for:

• New Login Locations: Alerts when you log in from new devices
• Password Changes: Immediate notification of password updates
• Payment Activity: Alerts for purchases and refunds
• Profile Modifications: Notifications of account changes

🚨 What to Do If You Suspect Compromise
