Don\u2019t use any personal information like birthdays, pet names, anniversary dates, street addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers. All of this information is publicly available and can be easily accessed by hackers.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Make it long and complex<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The longer your password is, the more difficult it is for the hackers to crack it.<\/span><b> While creating a password, use as many characters as possible.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The strongest passwords consist of 15-30 characters. Make it a combination of numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and special characters.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Avoid using real words<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hackers use efficient password cracking tools to guess your password. These tools are capable of processing every word in the dictionary, as well as numbers and letter combinations until a match is found. For this reason, it is advisable to avoid using real words or proper nouns.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Modify phrases that you can remember<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Choose an easy-to-remember phrase and slightly modify it by using the first letter of each word and replacing certain letters with numbers. For example: \u201cPrevention is Better Than Cure\u201d could become \u201cP1btC\u201d.<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n\n<head>\n    <meta charset=\"UTF-8\">\n    <meta http-equiv=\"X-UA-Compatible\" content=\"IE=edge\">\n    <meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0\">\n    <title>Document<\/title>\n<\/head>\n\n<style>\n    .interestedBtn {\n        width: 80% !important;\n        box-sizing: border-box !important;\n        display: inline-block !important;\n        padding: 11px !important;\n        border: 1px !important;\n        border-color: #ddd !important;\n        margin-top: 10px !important;\n        background-color: #183e8b !important;\n        background-image: none !important;\n        text-shadow: none !important;\n        color: #fff !important;\n        font-size: 14px !important;\n        line-height: 20px !important;\n        border-radius: 5px !important;\n        margin: 0 !important;\n        cursor: pointer !important;\n        box-shadow: 0px 4.66px 22.99px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.10);;\n    }\n\n\n        .formSec .formSecTwo{\n            padding-top: 15px !important;\n            margin-bottom: 30px !important;\n        }\n\n\n    .tnp-email {\n        width: 80% !important;\n        box-sizing: border-box;\n        padding: 8px 10px;\n        display: inline-block;\n        border: 1px solid #ced4da;\n        background: #fff;\n        color: #000 !important;\n        font-size: 13px;\n        line-height: 20px;\n        border-radius: 2px;\n        padding-right: 30px;\n        margin-bottom: 0px;\n    }\n\n    .formSec {\n        border: 1px solid #ced4da;\n        float: left !important;\n        width: 55% !important;\n    }\n\n    .mainBox {\n       \/* border: 1px solid #183e8b;*\/\n         background: white;\n        max-width: 600px !important;\n        margin: 0 auto !important;\n        padding: 20px !important;\n        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;\n    }\n\n    .boxDiv {\n        display: flex !important;\n    }\n\n    .boxConsult {\n        float: left !important;\n        width: 45% !important;\n        padding: 10px !important;\n    }\n\n    .formSecTwo {\n        text-align:center !important;\n        width: 100% !important;\n    }\n\n    .formHeading {\n        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\n        margin-top: 0px;\n        font-weight: 700;\n        line-height: 25px;\n        font-size: 18px !important;\n        \n       margin-bottom: 60px !important;\n       color: #000!important;\n          margin-top: 5px !important;\n    }\n\n    .fieldHeading {\n        margin: 0 !important;\n        font-size: 13px !important;\n        text-align: left !important;\n        margin: 0px 39px 2px 93px !important;\n        font-weight: 500 !important;\n    }\n\n    .image {\n        max-width:90% !important;\n        height: auto !important;\n    }\n\n     .email-icon {\n            position: absolute;\n            right: 50px;\n             top: 20px;\n            transform: translateY(-50%);\n            pointer-events: none;

To keep your password safe, avoid storing it in an excel file or writing it down on paper. Anyone can get a look at it, memorize it or misuse it. Either just memorize it or store it in a password manager to make sure it stays away from prying eyes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Enable_Multi-factor_Authentication\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>#6 Enable Multi-factor Authentication<\/b><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most effective security measures you can take to keep threat actors away from your data is enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all of your accounts. <\/span><b>MFA provides your accounts with an extra layer of security <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and makes sure only you can access your data.&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">MFA-enabled accounts require you to provide your password along with another form of verification like a code, fingerprints, or login confirmation.

For this reason, it is advisable to enable multi-factor authentication across all your accounts.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; color: #000000;\">Even if one of your employees is not using the best password practices, it could endanger your entire organization, putting it at risk of a data breach.
