“Password incorrect”…that’s a
notification we all dread when trying to log into someplace and it gets even
more complicated when you have a series of accounts (…10-20, don’t ask) and
they all obviously need secure passwords you must remember.
Good news is that most apps are
synchronizing with themselves allowing you to have a single password to access
other apps. Think Google for example, with one account you the user can log
into other Google related apps like Drive, Google+, Docs etc which is pretty
convenient. Others allow you to log in with an account on another app like
Instagram allowing the use of Facebook account to sign in.
Bad news, should your main
interconnecting account become hacked, you are in for it.

It would be a good idea to begin
changing yours should it be on this list or is similar.
Solution to password hacks you ask? Sure,
we got you.
-
Make it long, 8 characters minimum.
-
Try using sentences you like (…and are uncommon)
without spaces.
-
Always mix it up with capital letter, numbers
and special characters.
-
If you can’t put it all in your head, don’t put
it down somewhere that is obvious (…notepad with ‘don’t read’ title NEVER
works).
-
Don’t use complex references, you will forget.
-
DON’T TELL PEOPLE YOUR PASSWORDS (…obvious
enough).
-
Should you notice any shady info in your
accounts, request to change passwords immediately.
-
If you receive mails and or messages from odd
people or companies you have no relations with, don’t just trash the messages,
also permanently block the senders and report them to the admin.
-
If your browser saves your passwords (…which is
fine) don’t turn your system to a public use item. Keep them away from others
or simply log off to a guest account till they are done.
-
Don’t type your passwords with the speed of a
snail, either in public or private.
-
Don’t type your passwords when in tight spaced
public places.
These should help but also keep
looking online for more tips on security. You’ll be fine, just be at alert…always.
Need service?
We got you.
