Safe Passwords
In today’s modern world of technology, passwords are something which everybody needs to have, whether it be to access emails, social media or bank accounts. Most applications encourage you to use a password that is difficult for others to guess, but despite this, some people continue to use passwords that are easy to guess making themselves susceptible to hackers.
Even with a secure password, it can often be the case that even more security measures are preferred such as two-factor authentication, where in addition to a password you are also sent a code to your mobile phone which you need to enter to log in to your account.
