Use a strong password: when creating an account using your email and a password, ensure that the password is long and contains letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessable information such as your name, birthday or common words. Consider using a password manager to securely store and manage your account credentials across devices. Password managers generate strong, unique passwords and help mitigate the risk of unauthorised access.
Avoid reusing passwords: Don’t reuse passwords across multiple accounts. Using the same password for different platforms increases the risk of a security breach. Instead, opt for unique passwords for each account to enhance security and mitigate the impact of any potential breaches.
Third-Party Logins: If you choose to sign up or log in using third-party services like Apple, Facebook, or Google, ensure these accounts are also adequately secured. Regularly review the connected apps and services in your third-party account settings to manage access.
Log out after using public or shared devices: When accessing your account on public or shared devices, refrain from saving login credentials and always manually log out after each session.
Device security: For general online security, keep your device's operating system up-to-date. Additionally, consider using security or an anti-virus software to protect against malware, viruses, and other potential threats that could compromise your device's security and, by extension, your online accounts.
