Everyone has heard the horrific stories of
hackers breaking into some big companys database
and stealing their customer data, usernames, and
passwords.

3
After they get that data, they turn around and
try the usernames and passwords on a variety of
different websites

4
Unfortunately, for most of us, we have rather bad
habits of reusing the same passwords for all of
our apps and online sites or use weak ones, which
puts us all at risk.

5
The reasons companies are being hacked and we are
hearing about these data breaches are the same
reasons people rob banks

6
Hackers can make money on the black market
selling usernames and passwords. So how can you
protect yourself online?

Tip 1 Never Use Common Phrases or WordsUsing a
single word with numbers or a short phrase is
easier to hack than using randomization.
Randomization is where you incorporate a variety
of letters,

8
special characters, and numbers to create a
unique password. While this might seem
overwhelming for most people, it is rather easy
to come up with a random password using this
method

9
Write out a sentence, like Sally sells apples at
the farmers market on Thursdays. Now take the
first letter in each word, ssaatfmot, and toss in
some capitalization with some numbers,

10
SsaAT7m0t, and add an exclamation point or other
special charters, SaAT7m0T!, and you should be
all set. (But please do not use this example for
your password!)

Tip 2 Create Difficult Passwords for Sensitive
DataProtect your online accounts, including
email, by using unique and difficult passwords.

• webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/

12
Never reuse the same password for multiple
accounts. You should have a different password
for each email account, bank account, and so on.

13
Tip 3 Enable Two-Factor Authentication If
AvailableSome banks and other online apps
offer two-factor authentication. This will
require you to not only enter in your password,

• webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
  888.877.5002

14
but also some randomly generated series of
numbers, letter, or other such combination which
is delivered to the device and only used once.

• webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/

15
For instance, Google offers two factor
authentications and sends you a random number
code to enter after entering your password and
answering a second piece of information, like a
security question.

Tip 4 Invest in a Password Manager AppPassword
manager apps can help you create random and
strong passwords for every online website you
access. Plus, the app can store the passwords in
encrypted data mode,

• webdemonstrationlink.com/takingitmobile/
  888.877.5002

17
so you do not have to remember them, the next
time you access the site. You just need to make
sure you have a very strong password to protect
all of those stored passwords, as well as enable
password protection on your smartphone, tablet,
or computer where the password manager app is
installed.

18
Hackers will continue to go after password data
since it is profitable for them. Everyone needs
to protect themselves and the best place to start
is by ensuring we all use strong passwords.
