You may use any strong password you prefer. However, we suggest choosing 4 simple random words connected by hyphens or spaces—it makes your passphrase effortless for you to remember and type, while remaining virtually impossible for automated computers to crack:
Configure your PC or Mac to automatically lock when unattended as a background safety net.
All company communication, client deliverables, file sharing, and external meetings must be conducted strictly through your authorized company account (@b1g2.io). Using personal Google or webmail accounts for business causes severe permission issues, loss of corporate records, and legal compliance risks.
Navigate to accounts.google.com/SignUp. Select For work or my business when asked how you want to use the account.
Do not create a new @gmail.com username. Click the option that says "Use your existing email" or "Use my current email address instead".
Google will send a 6-digit confirmation code to your official inbox. Open Microsoft Outlook, copy the verification code, and enter it to prove ownership of your business email.
Set a strong master password for this Google profile and store it immediately in your Bitwarden Vault. Whenever a client asks for your email to share a Google Drive folder, Google Sheet, or Google Meet invite, provide your @b1g2.io address.
Simple routines to protect your workstation and projects.
Press Win + L (or Cmd + Ctrl + Q) whenever stepping away from your desk.
✓ Open Outlook emails, Teams chats, and active OneDrive files remain open and untouched.
Only approve prompts when you actively typed your credentials on a workstation.
⚠ Never approve random notification pop-ups. It signals a compromised password.
Maintaining strict boundaries between company systems and personal messaging protects your personal privacy and keeps corporate assets compliant.
When work stays in Teams and Outlook, you can mute notifications or shut down when your shift ends. Personal apps won't buzz with late-night work requests.
Legal disputes or corporate compliance audits can legally request business communication logs. Keeping work off personal WhatsApp/SMS keeps your private life 100% private.
Personal chats get buried, deleted, or lost when changing phones. Microsoft 365 keeps documents, version history, and decisions permanently searchable for your team.
Different types of information belong in different environments. Understand where sensitive data belongs.
Marketing collateral, public blog posts, job listings, public website links.
Sprint updates, internal SOPs, project boards, general client communication.
Account passwords, shared vendor logins, API keys, database access tokens, and 2FA recovery backup codes.
The Risk: Personal apps lack corporate data loss protection, centralized discovery, and automated backups.

The Risk: Forwarding files to personal Gmail/Yahoo accounts creates unmanaged, unencrypted copies that violate client confidentiality.
The Risk: Plaintext credentials typed directly into Teams remain permanently stored in chat logs, search indices, and can be exposed during screen sharing.
The Safe Solution: Use Bitwarden Send (Free & Built-In)
The credential automatically self-destructs the moment your colleague views it!
All client proposals, formal inquiries, invoices, vendor contracts, and official documentation.
