Strong, or difficult to guess, passwords are one step in the process of protecting your social media and web login accounts. Creating the longer\/hardware passwords may seem like it is a pain but it really isn't. I show you several ways to do just that. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUsing additional level of authentication can help prevent someone from taking over your account(s). Some sites send you an email or text message with a code to enter before you can login. Another way is something called Two Factor Authentication.

Having the code now wont let someone log in a minute or so later. This is easier to setup than you may think. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is some of what you will see in the book \u003cbr\u003eSelecting a Password Manager\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoftware vs Hardware Token\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreating a Strong Password\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEmail and SMS as Two Factor Authentication\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnswering Account Security Questions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI cover a host of social media account types and others such as cloud backup providers, web hosting providers and retail accounts to mention just some of what you can protect with stronger methods that what you probably are now.
