You know the scoop. You must have a different password on every site, your email, the places you shop, your computer, your bank account, the DNR, WSVA, your insurance company, your login to GrayHaired.Tech, etc. But if you want to stay very safe online, different passwords are a need. But how do you keep up…
This is the last in the series regarding ways to speed up your computer as it slows down with age. As I promised last week, this week we start with something that could be significant for some of you. OneDrive is Microsoft’s version of cloud storage which has been around since 2007. For those of…
Last week I mentioned Google’s “2-Step Verification” and I received emails asking what is it, how does it work, is it the same as MFA, 2FA? Also, for help in setting it up. I rarely give step-by-step instructions on how to make things work but the number of emails I received has encouraged me to…
Earlier this year… I made a few suggestions about your password safety. One of the things I recommended, and still do, is LastPast, which you can find here, ghtech.site/lp-howto. Here is a very quick review of LastPass. It allows you to save your login credentials, such as usernames and passwords to the app. You create…

The 29th will offer more details regarding this article, so register at GrayHaired.Tech to get an email when it comes out – hopefully, tomorrow (ghtech.site/reg). So, the…
I have an update for you from last week’s comments regarding Zoom Bombing. First, I apologize as I was told by several of you that I did not provide a link to Zoom; although, they found it by googling. They were correct so here you go, Zoom.us. Next, Zoom has been busy this week. They…
Recently meeting software of all sorts has replaced working in an office, talking face-to-face with friends/coworkers, and even some doctor visits can be made online. Different scenarios in everyday life situations which we would have never thought about five or six months ago have been instituted over the past months. I talked directly about Google…
If you read last week’s column, I touted the great technology we have today that makes working offsite or “working from home” possible today. During this time of upheaval, it is very convenient. You could even work from a restaurant…if one were open. I have worked from home (WFH) many times over the past years….
You know I really do not want to write about this because I am very tired of it. However, I have received emails wondering about its effect on technology. I really do not want to say the name here, but it starts the same as a popular beer. Due to the current virus running rampant…
You know many years ago when I was a much younger version of myself, I worked for a pizza shop that delivered…you guessed it pizza! Back in the day before worrying about dangerous procedures to do business we had a half-hour delivery guarantee or your meal was free. Now all of you old folks out…
