Online safety is grounded in a strong password. BAGH recommends incorporating a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters so that passwords would be more difficult to figure out. Do not use common words, personal information, or repeated patterns that can be easily recognized. A safe password is the very first protection that is automatically put in place against the unauthorized access.
To be quite honest with you, most people are guilty of using the same password over multiple accounts i.e. different platforms that they have, thereby significantly increasing the probability of their accounts getting hacked. To decline this probability to a minimum, BAGH advises changing the password every few months. The last sentence here wants to say that in case of a leak of one of your passwords, the uniqueness of your passwords across platforms will be the only thing that will stop hackers from opening your other accounts with the one that has been broken.
On top BAGH is vehemently advocating the use of multi-factor authentication at every possible instance. If the password happens to be broken into, MFA will still be able to stop the bad guys from getting an access without this extra security layer.
One of the easiest, yet very powerful, methods of safeguarding personal data online is making sure that passwords are well kept. BAGH keeps on conveying the informative tips and instructions that are helpful in maintaining security. To learn more about online safety practices, click here.
