Level 1:-
Create Strong Passwords: This is a common negligence among smartphone users, where some people use passwords such as – 1234, abcd1, Passwords. These are all wrong password settings. Here are they different techniques to step up your password privacy attitude.
- Choose Hard to guess passwords:
It might be easier to remember secure passwords, but passwords that rely on things such as your date of birth, the accurate sequencing of digits in your phone number or anything else that is readily associated are never a good sign of a strong password. Abstain from using passwords like birthdays, anniversaries or serial number sequences. They are the most obvious and are likely to be the first that hackers will try. Opt for a sophisticated course that involves an uppercase letter, number and symbol. The more complicated you make the chain, the more secure your password.

- Voice Passwords can be Handy:
Password protecting your voicemail will ensure that ill-willed predators don’t remove any private messages. Many phones come with a voicemail password already set by default. However, it tends to be very easy to guess. If yours has this feature change it immediately to a password known only to you.
