What should users do to enhance their account security?

Enhancing account security is crucial to protecting sensitive information from unauthorized access. Regularly changing passwords and using unique ones for different accounts minimizes the risk of credential theft. If one account's password is compromised, having unique passwords means that other accounts remain secure.

Using strong passwords that include a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols also makes it more difficult for attackers to guess or crack them. This practice strengthens the overall security posture of the user by ensuring that even if one password is exposed, the others remain protected.

In contrast, writing down passwords in a visible place can lead to easy access for outsiders or anyone in the vicinity. Relying solely on social media accounts for logging into various services concentrates risk and may expose multiple accounts if a social media account is compromised. Security questions can also be weak because they may be easily guessed or found through social engineering, further underscoring the importance of strong, unique passwords that are actively managed.
