Yet they are among the most common in Sweden. You may have made a quick, temporary fix with the ambition to soon choose a password for your account that is harder to crack. Did it never happen? Do it now. Here are five tips to increase the security of your social media accounts.\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\" data-animation-easing=\"swing\" data-offset=\"-25\" data-smooth-scroll class=\"read-more\">Read more<\/a>\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<section class=\"section-container section-padding entry-content block-layout\" id=\"bgimage-block_6b0e4897ad7bae60d97eca7a9f638c9a\" data-aos=\"fade-up\"  data-text-color=\"black\">\n\t<div class=\"grid-x grid-container align-center\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-container__content cell small-12 large-8\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Choose strong passwords and change them regularly. The more and more varied characters your password consists of, the better. Avoid personal connections such as nicknames and interests and be careful to choose different passwords for different accounts.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Use a password manager. It is an app that acts as a digital safe where you store your various login details in encrypted compartments. If you only remember the password to the app, it will remember all your other passwords for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Enable two-factor authentication. This requires an additional verification code on top of your password to access the account. For example, if you want to log in via your computer, the code can be sent to your mobile phone, providing extra protection against unauthorized access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Update apps and systems regularly. Many updates include security fixes, so keep up to date with the releases to reduce risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Be skeptical. Sometimes it&#8217;s obvious that someone wants to trick you, but other times it&#8217;s not so clear. Don&#8217;t click on questionable links, scrutinize accounts and senders with strange spelling, ignore unbelievable offers, and just take it easy if someone tries to rush you with urgent demands and requests &#8211; even if it looks like it&#8217;s coming from someone you know. It&#8217;s probably just from someone who hacked into an account that wasn&#8217;t properly protected.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section> \n \n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tips-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2716"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2716\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.frosting.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
