1. Managing your passwords
THE 12 BEST PRACTICES OF CYBERSECURITY
IN YOUR DAILY ROUTINECREATE A STRONG PASSWORD• Composed of at least 12 characters.• Avoid choosing a password derived from information that is
publicly available on social media.• Prevent access to your smartphone with a PIN of at least 6
digits, even if you use Touch ID or Face ID.
CHOOSE A DIFFERENT PASSWORD FOR EACH SERVICE YOU USE• That will prevent cybercriminals from accessing the other
services you use during a cyberattack.• In particular, do not use the same passwords at work that you
use at home.
PROTECT YOUR PASSWORDS• Store your passwords in KeePass, the password storage
software recommended by Total. Don’t record your passwords anywhere else.
• Do not share your passwords with anyone.• Change your passwords immediately if you think they may have
been compromised.• Never disclose the “secret” questions and answers that can be
used to reset your account, either on social media or elsewhere.
