However, it\u2019s important to keep your work secure by \u200bprotecting it with a\u200b password. Here are a few tips to make \u200csure your\u2062 documents \u2062stay secure:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Set a secure \u200cpassword<\/b>. \u200cMake sure your\u2062 password is 8 or more characters long and includes uppercase \u200bletters,\u200d lowercase letters, numbers and special\u2064 characters. Try \u2062not \u2064to use the same password across multiple platforms.<\/li>\n<li><b>Enable two-step \u2063authentication<\/b>. With two-step authentication, you\u2019ll enter your password and then receive an access code which\u2064 you\u2019ll have \u200dto enter\u200b to gain access. This makes it harder for hackers to get into your account.<\/li>\n<li><b>Steer\u2062 clear of public WiFi<\/b>. Public WiFi is a hotbed for \u2062hackers, as the possibility of intercepting data\u2062 on the network \u2063increases significantly\u200b when using public WiFi. Use a secure private connection\u200d whenever possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Google \u200bSheets\u2063 also offers a\u2064 few other additional security measures that you can use to protect your data. You can set an \u200cexpiration date \u2062after which the sheet\u2064 will be locked and\u2062 no one will be able to access it, or you can enable \u201cFile-Level Access\u201d which allows you to grant users access to only certain sheets, and not the entire document. \u200b<\/p>\n<p>These steps will ensure your data is kept secure and\u200d your documents\u200b are accessible\u200b to only those who \u200bshould have access to them.
