My very good friend told me that his email address and Facebook account was recently hacked. Well, this happened because he uses the same password for his facebook account and his email account. So he registered in another site with same password, meanwhile he also provided his Email address in the new site. With these , the site people was able to hack his email and Facebook account.
So dear friends, if you have been using the same password for all your accounts, then, you need a stop.
Hope your night was fine? Mine was awesome.

You can use one password but modifying it in each website. Example if your facebook password is PRETTY, your mylot password can be MYLOTPRETTY . You can as well create a folder in your phone for your password. It is better than using same password for all sites. These leads to been hacked.

@jonnyjoe Creating a folder for all passwords defeat the purpose because the folder can also be hacked.. even if you modify pretty a lot of times, it's futile..

Facebook, Gmail and many other sites provide the option of two factor verification. Meaning even if someone has your password, they're not getting in without your phone. I don't leave my phone accessible to random people so I'd know right away whos butts to start kicking.

@jonnyjoe The way two factor works, is they text a code to your phone. In some cases an authentication app is required. Either way, they're not getting in without that code

@cupkitties that if the person use verify by phone, if he chose verify by email you ain't getting any notification neither will it require the person to put code. What he will see is " A CODE HAS BEEN SENT TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, PUT THE CODE TO CONTINUE. Hope you understand it now?

@jonnyjoe That's if they opt to verify throught email which many two factor aunthenticator do not provide as an option. If they do then you choose verify by text or use an authenticator app. simple. Having a more complicated password alone is not enough, especially in a brute force attack. I've had some really tough ones and somebody still managed to get into my email so I use 2 factor now

Those two may be secure if you don't use the same password in another site.
