But there are ways to follow while setting up your password. Are you a starter? Make your password difficult to guess — it should not be your birthday, your phone number, or even the name of your family members. Mix both upper case and lowercase.

Add symbols and some complex features as well as numbers. Also, avoid using the same password for all your accounts. That will put your accounts at risk once the password for one of your accounts leaks. Keep your account safe from hackers.

Nearly all services (social media, email…,) offer the two-factor option of authentication. So, you can find this alternative through your accounts’ security settings.

That will make sure that you don’t lose your password multiple times. In fact, it will prompt you to provide the password as well as the code generated through the One-Time-Pin (O T P), or the preinstalled identifications app/software.

Most digital users don’t use this option, but it is the right one. Are you dealing with financial data, and wondering how to keep it safe? Or perhaps is your office and personal data giving you sleepless nights? Discover how you will choose a two-factor authentication process within simple means.
