How To Not Get Hacked

I am sure that you have probably heard of the nude photo leaks of celebrities. You are not immune, in case you needed a reminder. One of the most important things that you can do is not reuse passwords. If they get you, this is how you’ll get got. You need to take the time to really make strong passwords because the software development for figuring them out is getting more and more sophisticated, especially if you have a certain pattern to your passwords. Another thing you can do is set up a two factor authentication which means that if someone is logging in on a different device, a special code will be sent to an authorized device. A good password manager will help you create and manage strong passwords that you can use to log in from the Web or your mobile device. All you’ll ever need to know is the master password. The rest of your passwords are encrypted, and can only be unlocked by that master password.
