- how to avoid from hacking
1)) Create complex passwords :-
Your password to access your account on apps or websites should consist of a combination of numbers, upper- and lower-case letters, and special characters that is difficult to guess.
- Don't use the same password for more than one website or account. This limits the damage to you if a hacker happens to crack one of your passwords.
2))Use a password manager :-
Password managers store and auto-fill your credentials for different sites, allowing you to create a complex and unique password for each site without having to worry about entering the password itself more than once. While you should absolutely keep track of you passwords on your own as well, a password manager will help make your device much more secure.
- Highly praised third-party password managers include "Dashlane 4", "LastPass 4.0 Premium", "Sticky Password Premium", and "LogMeOnce Ultimate".
- Most browsers have a built-in password manager that stores and encrypts your passwords.
3)) Don't give out your password:-
This is an obvious piece of advice, but one that bears revisiting: with the exception of some school services, you shouldn't ever have to provide a site administrator with your password for them to access your account.[2]
- This logic applies to IT workers and Microsoft or Apple representatives.
- Similarly, don't tell people your phone or tablet's PIN or passcode combination. Even your friends might accidentally tell someone your passcode.
- If you do have to give someone your password for some reason, change it as soon as they are done with whatever they needed to do on your account.
4)) Change your passwords often :-
In addition to keeping your password a secret, you should change the passwords on your various accounts and devices at least once every six months.
- Be sure not to use the same password twice (e.g., your Facebook password should be different than your bank password, etc.).
- When you do change your password, you should change it substantially. Don't simply replace one letter with a number.
