Create long passwords:<\/strong> The longer the password, the harder it is to crack through brute force methods, which involve testing all possible combinations. A length of at least 12 characters is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avoid common words or obvious references:<\/strong> Terms like your first and last name, birth date, and basic sequences like “123456” make passwords more predictable and easier to discover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use a variety of characters:<\/strong> A mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, along with numbers and special characters (such as @ or $), increases the complexity of the password, making it harder for scammers to crack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create unique passwords:<\/strong> Avoid using the same password for different sites or applications, as a data breach in one place could provide access to multiple platforms. Whenever possible, create unique passwords for each site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use two-factor authentication:<\/strong> Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security beyond the password, whether through a confirmation via cellphone or an authentication app, for example. Therefore, whenever this option is available, it should be used to reduce the risk of unauthorized access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change your passwords periodically:<\/strong> It’s important to update your passwords from time to time. This way, if there is a data breach, the information may already be outdated, mitigating the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use biometric services:<\/strong> Nowadays, it is quite common to access apps and devices through biometrics, whether by fingerprint or facial recognition, for example. This type of method can prevent unauthorized access.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
