1. **Use Strong Passwords**:
- Create a password that includes a mix of letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Avoid using the same password across multiple accounts to prevent a breach across platforms.
- Consider the option of using a password manager that tracks your passwords.
2. **Use Two-Factor Authentication**:
- Two-factor authentication should be used for additional security, especially for important accounts like email, banking, and social networking.
- An extra-level layer of protection exists in the event that one's password has somehow become known.
3. **Watch Out for Phishing Scams**:
- Never click on a link that seems suspicious in an email, text, or website.
- Verify the source before giving out sensitive information, such as personal or financial information.
