RECLAIM YOUR DIGITAL GOLD



          FOLLOW ALL PASSWORD RULES AND
          REGULATIONS


          Nothing is more inconvenient than having to remember
          multiple passwords for each of your favorite websites.
          You’ll forget what you just typed a few minutes later. As
          a result, in the future, there will be a need to look for a
          forgotten password. You can also quickly connect your
          smartphone  to the  standby mode (i.e.  select  sleep  or
          screen timeout) that you use for all websites and apps.
          Follow these tips to make the most of the level of security
          provided by your passwords:

                 ● Use  a  variety  of characters,  digits,  and  letters
                 in  your passwords  rather  than  a  single  easily
                 recognizable term.
                 ● Never use the same password for more than one
                 website or service.
                 ● You should not use your social media credentials,
                 email credentials, or any other account to log in to
                 other websites.
                 ● Make use of a password manager (i.e. software
                 application that is designed to store and manage
                 online credentials).
                 ● When  possible,  use two-factor  authentication
                 (also referred to as 2FA) which only allows access
                 after successfully presenting two or more pieces
                 of evidence to an authenticate your identity.



          TYPICAL SCAMS TO WATCH OUT FOR


          The  person  who sends  you spam  texts  and  emails  is
          unlikely  to be  someone  you’ve  never met.  Often,  they
