Data Integrity

To ensure data stored on your web browser is backed up (Passwords, Bookmarks, Extensions, etc.), it is greatly encouraged to sync this data to your campus account. You can do so in your preferred browser by signing into a Google, Mozilla, or Microsoft account using your campus credentials. Once signed in, your account will retain all chosen information and can be utilized on other devices simultaneously!
