Security Measures to Implement
Implement Strong Password Practices
A strong password is your first line of defense against unauthorized access. Use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Avoid common passwords like '123456' or 'password'.
- Change your password regularly.
- Consider using a password manager for secure storage.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an additional layer of security by requiring a second form of verification in addition to your password.
- Set up 2FA through your account settings.
- Use an authenticator app for enhanced security.
- Be aware of backup codes in case you lose access to your 2FA method.
Regularly Update Security Settings
Review your account security settings periodically to ensure they are up-to-date and reflect your current needs.
- Check your recovery email and phone number.
