Protect your store purchases
How to add extra security to safeguard your Mac from accidental purchases and malware
The App Store is a great feature of the Mac that makes it really easy to find software for work or personal use. Some apps require payment and because money is involved, there are some pretty good security systems in place to protect you. You must log in to the App Store with your Apple ID and, once signed in, there is an option for the store to remember your password, so if you need to make another purchase soon after then you don’t need to re-enter it. This is convenient, but it is also a less secure option than requiring a password every time. In this tutorial we’ll guide you through the various ways in which you can tighten up your Mac’s App Store security in order to limit what is downloaded, and by whom. And it’s a good way to get reacquainted with where the options are.
