Electronic security is equally as important as washing our hands during COVID-19.
While many online scams have appeared lately, having a strong password to protect personal information is a must.
World Password Day is observed is a day to promote better password habits and to create awareness of the need for a good password security.
The day is observed every first Thursday in May and was established by Intel Security in 2013 after Mark Burnett, a security research, first encouraged people to have a day for updating important passwords.
Here are a few tips to help protect your privacy:
-
Change an old password to a long and strong one
-
Turn on two-factor (two-step) authentication for important accounts
-
Don’t store passwords on your computer or phone
-
Log off programs when you’re done
-
Periodically remove temporary internet files
