Quote:World Password Day reminds us of the importance of these little crypto-keys and the role they play in making sure we keep hold on our lives, identity thieves are everywhere, and these are your first digital line of defense.

Get started with these 10 basic security tips:

  1. Give each account you have its own unique password — do not reuse any.
  2. Make every password complex and strong.
  3. Use a password manager to keep you sane. It remembers all your complex, strong passwords so you don’t have to. 
  4. If you hear there’s been a breach, be extra safe and take action right away to change your passwords.
  5. Use 2-factor authentication when it’s offered. That way, if your password is compromised, your account won’t necessarily be.
  6. Use a VPN especially on public Wi-Fi.
  7. Never text or email anyone your password.
  8. When selecting security questions while creating an account, choose hard-to-guess options to which only you know the answer.
  9. When you’re done, take the time to tell your family and friends to protect themselves too.
  10. Use antivirus program. If a threat somehow gets past your strong defenses and into your system, a good antivirus will detect and neutralize it.
