When you think about all of your “virtual valuables” that are shared over the internet – and stored on your devices – why wouldn’t you keep them as secure as your wallet or keys?There’s one simple way to make it harder for others to access your virtual valuables: don’t make it easy for them to guess your passwords. Most people don’t need specialized technical skills to get into your accounts – they can do it just by making a few guesses at your passwords or running an automated program.And once they’re able to get into one account, they can try that compromised password on other accounts, gather information about you and your habits, take over accounts you own, or even use your digital identity.
