Great! If you’ve come this far you’ve hopefully wiped the slate clean and can now start to build yourself a decent security plan. For a head start, try following these quick tips on storing passwords:

Always take advantage of two-factor authentication, or 2FA. This way, you’ll be adding a stronger second layer of security to your password, like a fingerprint or a secret question.

Use strong passwords and a different one for each account. A random password generator is your safest bet in creating an unbreakable password. And remember: using the same password over and over again renders all of your online accounts unsafe.

Use a password manager. We don’t expect you to remember P6Nwq3EnecGjC$, which is why a good password manager like NordPass is your safest bet in creating an unbreakable password. And remember: using the same password over and over again renders all of your online accounts unsafe.
