Tips
Tips you should know
What really makes a good password.
Make it strong
Go for length (12 characters or more) and mix character types: lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols.
For example
Think of a game of hangman: a short, common word is guessed in a few tries. “c_ff_e”… You guessed it, right?
Make it unique
One password per account, especially on sites that handle sensitive data. Otherwise a single leak is enough to open all the others.
For example
Imagine the key to your locker padlock also opened your house, your garage and your safe. One key, one purpose!
Keep it private
Store it safely, in a password manager or a notebook kept somewhere secure, and avoid sharing it.
For example
People you share it with might not protect it as well as you do: you could get hacked just because they got hacked.
Change it
Change it at the slightest doubt: a data leak, a suspicious device, a security alert. By the time the alert arrives, it is often too late.
For example
No need to change it all the time, though: you end up picking variations that are easy to guess.
One last tip
Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). After your password, you confirm your identity a second time: a code from an authenticator app or sent by SMS, or an approval on a trusted device.
Even if someone knows your password, they can no longer get in.
VPN
You can also consider a VPN
A useful addition, provided you choose it well.
What links passwords and VPNs?
A VPN encrypts your connection. On a public or shared network, someone could intercept what you send to websites, passwords included. With a VPN, that data becomes unreadable to other people on the network.
It does not replace a strong, unique password.
Will anyone be able to track me?
Only your VPN provider sees the sites you visit. Your Internet provider knows you are using a VPN, but not the details.
As soon as you sign in to an account, though, the site knows who you are. Cookies and browser fingerprinting keep following you too.
Is it worth it?
Yes: it is an extra layer of privacy, especially on public Wi-Fi. It won’t protect you from mistakes, oversharing or unsafe habits.
Because it makes you appear in another country, it also unlocks content unavailable where you live: shows, music, games.
Which VPN can I trust?
If it’s free, you are the product.
A VPN that doesn’t make money from you often makes it from your data, which defeats the purpose.
A trustworthy service lives on subscriptions, publishes a clear privacy policy and has its promises checked by independent audits.
