STRONG PASSWORDs
Multiple profiles make your online life interesting? Cool, just make sure you have secure passwords
Are you using 5 different profiles, all with the same password, “martin90”? This is how you create a strong password:
- Use sentences rather than words, e.g. "Martinsinstarulez!"
- Use a different password for each network
- Enable two-factor authentication
- Use a password manager
SMARTPHONE PROTECTION
Running to Micky D’s counts too, right?
Mobile apps can be treacherous. How do you make sure they don’t rat you out?
- Only download apps from the official store
- Check their permissions and read reviews
- Keep all your apps updated
- Use antivirus on your smartphone
