Use strong passwords for your email and social media accounts There are a few things you need to pay attention to when dealing with setting good passwords for your online accounts. First of all,  don’t use the same password in more than one online account ! The reason is quite easy to guess: if one of your online accounts is hacked, then the others will soon follow. By using different passwords, you minimize the potential loss you could suffer in case of a privacy breach. One of the best ways to ensure that no one else can access your online accounts is to  use two-factor authentication .  Activating this security verification means that you will have to enter, besides your credentials, a code sent to your phone. Many services and online platforms offer this option and it’s a great way to ensure that your data is safe from prying eyes and hands. We have a step-by-step gui...
