10) Securing Your Account

When using 3DICOM for the first time, securing your account is crucial to protect sensitive medical data.
Here is how to ensure your account stays safe:

1. Set Up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Enable MFA to add an extra layer of security:

• Text-based MFA: Receive a code via SMS for account access.
• Authenticator App: Use apps like Google Authenticator or Authy for secure, time-based codes.

2. Use a Strong Password

Create a strong password that includes a mix of:

• Upper and lowercase letters
• Numbers and symbols
• At least 12 characters

Avoid using easily guessed information like birthdays or common words.

3. Log Out on Public Computers

Never leave your account logged in on shared or public computers. Always log out after your session to prevent unauthorized access.

By following these simple steps, you’ll significantly enhance the security of your 3DICOM account and keep your medical data safe.
