Easy Ways To Protect Your Digital Life

Awkward as it is today, you may lose your entire digital life in just a few hours despite that it takes lots of time to build it. Most of us become security conscious only after we’ve lost an email or social media account and/or got our web presence affected in some other manner!

So, it’s important that you are alert enough to learn and practice the right precautionary measures well in time.

Here are some easy ways to help you prevent all this from happening to you.

Foolproof Backing Up of Data 

Develop a habit of backing all your important data up by employing multiple sources. One of the most popular and effective ways is cloud backup. Make sure you take help from a reputed professional capable of protecting your data with convenient and modern ways. For extra safety, keep your data stored in a portable hard disk drive too.

Change/Fortify Passwords 

The first thing is to ensure that you are using different passwords for each of your email and social networking accounts. Another requisite is to choose strong-strength and difficult-to-guess passwords. You have the option of using a password manager in case you find it difficult to manage so many complex passwords.

Opt for Two-Step Verification 

Most social media platforms including Facebook and Google are providing their users with highly useful and reliable features like two-step verification, making the login process safer. The two-step verification system requires the user to have an extra pin code in addition to the password.

Make Your Security Questions Stronger 

Almost all good websites use security questions in order to authenticate users for maximum security. This feature is equally helpful when users forget their passwords and want to reset them. Although hackers can try guessing your answers to hack your accounts, still you can make it nearly impossible for them by choosing unique answers to the security questions.

Allow Login Notifications 

 One of the greatest safety features that you can rely on is the login notification feature. Many social networks and banking websites offer this security feature. Once you start using it, you are notified via SMS or email when someone attempts to access your account from an unrecognized mobile or computer device.
