What should you do to secure your Raspberry Pi 5? In this article, I’ll go over some of the quickest and best ways to ensure that your Raspberry Pi 5 is safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So before (or while) you’re setting up your Raspberry Pi 5, read this article first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1: Set up secure passwords, seriously<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For many people, the standard way of setting up Raspberry Pi 5 will begin with this: the Raspberry Pi Imager<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, in the past few years, the Raspberry Pi Imager has really evolved. Today, it’s super easy to get started and quickly set up security protocols on your Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, first things first, if you don’t need a communication interface, don’t set it up. If you’re planning on setting up your Raspberry Pi 5 for something without WiFi, then don’t set up WiFi. If you won’t SSH into your Pi, then don’t configure it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can change your mind later and enable these interfaces after you have your Pi set up already. But if you’re going to use these interfaces, then you need to use strong passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong passwords are long, include lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. But really, the best passwords are more like passphrases.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t take my word for it. Listen to Edward Snowden:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
