If we make ourselves a little aware of using passwords in all our various internet accounts, then we can easily protect ourselves from these hackers. So let's know some tricks to keep password safe-

Choose a password

Passwords play one of the biggest roles in keeping our accounts secure. So we must choose a good password in password selection. Our passwords must contain small letters, capital letters, numbers or special characters such as ৳ or * and passwords must be limited to 10 to 15 characters. We have to be careful in selecting the password so that our new password does not match the old password.

Warnings by location

Many of us give passwords to access our accounts while traveling to many places or when we get a medium somewhere, which is never a good idea. Avoid using your valuable password on public WiFi, the airport, your favorite coffee shop, a friend's house, or someone's phone. Never again should we change our password from any public place.

Use different passwords

One of the biggest mistakes and risks in our password usage is using the same password everywhere. Using the same password on Facebook, Mail, Yahoo or different websites can be unsafe and risky for us. We must change the password for each of our accounts.

level of caution

Using multiple levels of authentication, not just a password, when logging into an account is critical to our account security. We can use two or more levels of authentication at the time of logging into the account, which will take some time and provide us with proper security.

Simple password

Say simple passwords that can be easily guessed by you. For example, you love to eat chocolate and so you put your password in his name. Again, you use your pet's name as your password so that anyone spending a little time behind your back can easily guess it. And we should refrain from giving such passwords. We need to make ourselves more aware of these little things so that we can keep our private information safe.

Recently, the amount of cybercrime has increased dramatically in the world, which has also increased at a noticeable rate in our country. In such a situation, we have to be aware and active in the use of passwords for our security.
