that website "have i been poland " will tell you if it is your email address, or password. >> if your password was compromised, change it everywhere you have used it. michael: it is a good reminder not to reuse passwords. don't worry about having to remember new ones, a password manager does that for you. consumer reports recommends one called "onepass" which creates unique passwords for each of your accounts. since cyber criminals can use your personal information to try to log into your account, use something called multi-factor authentication, which requires a second form of identification to log in. >> often it is a code sent to your phone. we recommend using something more secure than that. michael: like the google authenticator app or a key such as ubikey.

consumer reports says freezing your credit is a small option since it restricts access to your credit history. that is what nicholas did after his identity was stolen. >> i plan to keep it frozen because that is the safer thing to do. michael: one thing to keep in mind, you will have to unfreeze your credit before you apply for a car loan, a mortgage, or a credit card. but the amount of safety it creates, is worth that bit of a hassle. dan: it seems that way. thank you, michael. ama: it was originally a very contentious neighborhood debate over allowing a navigation center to open in the [ sneeze ] are you ok? oh, it's just a cold. if you have high blood pressure, a cold is not just a cold. unlike other cold medicines, coricidin provides powerful cold relief

opened. but after covid reduced capacity and restricted turnover, conditions improved." he also says safe embarcadero for all is in the process of winding down. in a few years, the supervisor says the navigation center will be developed for housing. >> there is no solution for homelessness without navigation centers and without housing. melanie: in san francisco, melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. ama: the san francisco port commission is meeting to allow crab sales from fishermen. if approved, it would be able to go to fisherman's wharf, and purchase live dungeness crabs. dungeness crab season is about to start november 14. dan: pg&e says it is working to restore power after sunday's big storm. in woodside, the area near the preserve saw heavy damage. crews are replacing two power poles that were broken and three others that were leaning. about 150 customers nearby lost power. >> we have about 3000
