To secure your online accounts from being accessed through public Wi-Fi networks:
- Set a strong password that can’t be easily guessed and make sure that they are unique from each other.
- Change your passwords periodically.
- Avoid accessing any sensitive personal information or accounts while connected to a public Wi-Fi network.
- Enable two-factor authentication (also known as two-step verification). This requires an additional code as authentication when signing in to an online account.
- Use a reliable virtual private network (VPN). This encrypts the data going between the device and the network, protecting it from malicious or unauthorised access.
