Everything is on the internet and this calls for more security to protect your information. People have credit cards and social security numbers on their phones and laptops. People also order many things online now and this causes people to have credit cards and social security numbers on the websites that can ask you to keep on file to make it easier to order additional items for the future. There are many ways that I use to protect my passwords and information.
One of the ways that I protect my information is by using the two-factor authentification. I found that this really helps me in many ways because this form of protection is just an extra wall that can help people who could have retrieved your main password. There are a good amount of applications and websites that use that form of security and I try to use it more often than not.
I also try to change my password often because that can help stop people who are trying to attempt to break into your profiles and such. Changing my profiles really help me keep a peaceful mind because I know that I can continue to make changes to my security profiles in a safe way and in a more efficient way.
Another way that I tend to use in order to keep my information safe to not save my passwords on the devices that I use. This is probably a huge issue with a lot of people because if someone can just get into your devices that have all of your passwords saved within the different platforms and websites, then your information could be compromised for sure. I try to really watch that tool because my devices often ask me for permission to “save password” and it is so easy to just say yes. Clearing your cookies and encrypting your information is a very important part of the process of keeping your information safe and secure.
Protecting your information and passwords is such an important piece of life, especially now that everyone and everything is now on the internet. People from all over the world can easily have access to your personal and private information if the process to keep the information safe is not done properly. Everyone must know and learn how to safely and proactively secure their information and I can only feel for the elderly people because many do not even have a clue to do so. We must make it a priority to stay safe.
