Step‑by‑Step: Common Tasks on a Shared Computer
Email: Quick, Secure Access
- Open your email provider in the browser.
- Use two‑factor authentication (2FA) when prompted—this adds an extra layer of security.
- When you finish, sign out completely and close the browser tab.
Pro tip: If you need to keep a document, email it to yourself rather than downloading it to the computer.
Airline Online Check‑In and Boarding Passes
- Go to your airline’s official website or app portal.
- Enter your booking reference and follow on‑screen check‑in steps.
- Choose a digital option where possible (e.g., send the boarding pass to your email so you can access it on your phone).
- If you require a hard copy, ask our reception team for guidance.
Saving Files Safely
- Prefer cloud storage or email to transfer files to your device.
- If you download a document, delete it afterwards and empty the recycle bin.
- Avoid saving passwords when browsers prompt you.
Smart Security Habits on Any Public Computer
Shared computers are convenient, and with a few simple habits you can use them confidently:
- Before you start
- Use private/incognito browsing mode to reduce stored history and cookies.
- Have your login details ready and enable 2FA where available.
- While you browse
- Stick to secure websites (look for https and the lock icon).
- Avoid online banking or sharing highly sensitive information on public machines when possible.
- When you finish
- Log out of every account (email, social media, airlines, etc.).
- Clear downloads and close all browser windows.
- If you handled sensitive documents, double‑check that no files remain on the desktop or in the downloads folder.
These simple steps help protect your privacy without adding friction to your day.
