How to secure passwords?

Passwords and login methods must be secured. The following is a suggestion for how to create secure passwords for your computer and your password manager. Use the password manager for all your online passwords, as they are prone to getting hacked and you don't have to memorise a new one to replace it. The password manager will automatically generate passwords for you, one for each website. Don't use the same password twice for any website. This is particularly important for the organisation's accounts, or any account with administrative privileges to social media profiles etc.

In addition, it is worth adding two-factor authentication. This involves using an app on your phone like Google Authenticator and linking it to your phone, or using SMS where you get an SMS sent to your phone from the website in order to log in to new devices. All the major websites will offer some version of this now, but be careful when changing phones or phone numbers.
