5. Create secure passwords
Creating a secure password and practising good password management are the most important things that you can do to secure your accounts.
Do you know what makes a secure password?
Tips to secure your online accounts
- Don’t just use one password – use a different password for every account
- Use a passphrase – instead of a singular word, try a sequence of words for instance, DogsandCatsareawesome. Note: Do not use this as your password!
- Include numbers, capital letters and symbols
- The longer the password, the better
- Don’t write passwords down
- Turn on two-factor authentication.
