Change your passwords regularly
as much as it might be a hassle. Now obviously here
common sense take prevalence. If you have registered
to receive your horoscope on a daily basis and the only
information you provided was your email address and a
password, then hackers won’t be able to do much with
your account, unless to try re-using your password
somewhere else.

Use a two-step authentication process
(sometimes referred to as multi-factor authentication). This is
relatively new and requires the presentation of 2 or more
authentication factor to verify your identity, for example, your
password and a PIN received via SMS. Most banks have this in
their online banking facility. This is now available for Google
accounts, Apple ID accounts and DropBox accounts. If
available, USE IT!

Enable all possible alerts
for confirmation of transactions, password changes etc.

Avoid using your passwords on public
computers
and if you have to, change your password soon after
(from a secure PC). This is probably something that
doesn’t happen as often nowadays with the use of
smartphones and tablets.

Use a keychain software
if you’ve already got headaches about all these new
passwords you now need to remember. Such software
securely keeps track of the different passwords you use
across different websites. When choosing one, ensure it
is encrypted, and saved locally on your desktop or
laptop.
