To better protect your social media accounts, consider the following:
- Make sure passwords are strong: Use a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Update your password regularly: Set reminders to change your passwords at least once every three months.
- Don’t save your password on your browser: This is potentially dangerous if anyone else gains access to your device.
- Set up two-factor authentication: This adds an extra layer of security to your accounts.
- Watch what you share online: Set your privacy settings to your personal preference, and don’t share any sensitive information.
- Be aware of third-party apps: Read the privacy policies of any apps you are considering downloading.
