Last year (around this time) I did a post on creating secure website passwords<\/a>.\u00a0 Today, I came across an article from Lifehacker titled “How to Do Passwords Right in 2018<\/strong><\/a><\/em>” so I thought I’d share some of other ways you can keep you accounts secure on the world wide web.\u00a0 Here are some of the tips from the Lifehacker article:<\/p>\n

Use Your Browser Tools<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Many modern browsers can recommend passwords for your website.\u00a0 Nowadays your browsers also work as a pretty good password manager as well so you don’t have to worry about remembering them.<\/p>\n

Use A Password Manager<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Similarly to how browsers are now storing your passwords, you can also choose to get a password manager application.\u00a0 These password managers can also store other sensitive information you want to keep secure.\u00a0 I’ve used Dashlane<\/a> in the past, but there are plenty others like 1Password<\/a> and Keeper<\/a>.\u00a0 Check ’em out and find out which is best for you.<\/p>\n

Enable Two-Factor Authentication<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A lot of people may all ready have turned this on without knowing it.\u00a0 The simplest example of a two-factor authentication is when you get a code on your phone in order to login to, say, Google.\u00a0 This can be very helpful with keeping your account secure because even if someone\u00a0does\u00a0<\/strong>get your password, they still can’t get into your account.<\/p>\n

Get a Dongle (Dedicated Security Key)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Similar to how two-factor authentication requires you to have your phone (or another device) with you, a dedicated dongle requires you to have some kind of dongle with you.\u00a0 Basically, if you don’t have your dongle with you, you won’t be able to log in.\u00a0 The Lifehacker article says the keys can work via NFC, Bluetooth or even a USB port.\u00a0 This may not be the smartest idea if you’re prone to lose things, but I’m sure there’s ways around that too.\u00a0 Lifehacker suggests a key from Google<\/a> as well as some alternatives<\/a>.<\/p>\n
