5 Tips So that Passwords Are Not Easily Cracked, One of them Use Authentication (Safety Detectives)

YOGYAKARTA - Based on Google's research some time ago which stated that 89% of internet user passwords in Indonesia were vulnerable to being hacked by hackers, Google Indonesia released tips that can be used to keep user accounts safe.

The tips provided are also quite easy and can be used by all users. One of the tips given is to authenticate when logging into a new site address using your Google account.

Apart from authentication, there are other ways that users can secure their accounts. Here the VOI team has put together a number of tips that you can use.

Tips So that Passwords Are Not Easily Cracked

1. Create a Safe Password Combination

One of the easiest things to secure your account from hackers is to create a secure password combination. If users feel that the password combination you are using is vulnerable to being compromised, you can change it to a new, more secure password.

To see if your account password is safe or not, users can view it through Google's security checking site, namely dig.co/securitycheckup.

Besides being able to check the security of the password, the site can also tell you the names of the applications that have access to or are connected to your account.

2. Use Password Checkup

The next tip that you can do to ensure the security of your account is to use the "Password Checkup" feature developed by Google. This feature can detect the password combination that you are using is safe or not.

In addition, these tools also allow the system to detect whether the password has been weakened because it has been used more than 1 time by the user.

3. Use Password Manager

In addition to Password Checkup, Google also has another feature to make your account safe, namely Password Manager. With this feature, users can find out all the passwords associated with your Google account.

4. Avoid the Same Password

As explained in the previous section, using the same password more than once will weaken its security. Therefore, you can avoid using the same password in 2 different accounts.

If you have trouble remembering the passwords of every account you have, users can save them using a credible password storage manager tool.

5. Authentication

The last recommended and most widely used way by users to secure their accounts is authentication. With this method, you can integrate the sign-in to a site using your primary Google account.

If you use authentication to secure your account, then when logging in to a new site, users can choose to sign in using Google. Next, a verification code will be sent to your email address to confirm whether the process was carried out by you.

Those are the tips you can do to make sure your Google account is safe from hacker attacks that have recently occurred.
