In this era of modernization, the number of social media users is increasing day by day. Social media use has become essential for many. That's why Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, Telegram have become an essential part of people's lives.
Social media is not just a platform for posting pictures, statuses or videos. It has become a great platform to earn business or money. But since these platforms are so important, private and confidential, social media passwords have become very important.
If the password is too easy, your account will fall into the hands of hackers. Passwords are used for the security of not only social media accounts, but also smartphones, desktops and laptops. But do you know what the password should actually be?
Let's find out-
1. In any case, giving a password is a bit complicated. Do not give common passwords like 12345, 1111, 0000, ABCDE.
2. Do not use your or a loved one's initials or date of birth as a password.
3. The password must be a bit complicated. eg BIDI@him123. That is, where capital and small letters, signs, digits all have to be given as passwords.
4. Password should be changed regularly every one to three months. Keep in mind while entering the new password that the letters or digits of the previous password are not the same.
5. Many times many people keep the same password in different fields like e-mail, social media account, e-wallet account. It is not right to do this. In that case, if one account is hacked, other accounts can easily become the target of hackers.
6. In cases where there is an option for two-step authentication with password, keep it on. In such cases OTP will also be required to open the account along with the password. This will increase protection.
7. In cases where biometric password option is available, keep biometric on with common password. That is, the account must be opened by matching fingerprints or eyeballs.
8. Fraudsters often send links via phishing emails to steal your various account passwords. Don't click on links from strangers.
9. Never share your account passwords with anyone.
10. Don't keep all account passwords together by writing them down on paper in your wallet or pocket or in messages on your mobile. Then there may be danger of all passwords being compromised at once.
