In this episode of Byte Sized Security, host Marc David dives deep on best practices for locking down your online accounts, including:

  • Creating strong, unique passwords - Using passphrases, password managers, proper length and complexity
  • Enabling multi-factor authentication - Using authenticator apps, security keys, SMS codes, and other factors
  • Securing MFA backup codes - Storing offline, not on your computer
  • Using advanced authentication options - Like biometrics and video selfie verification when available
  • Monitoring account activity - Setting up alerts for suspicious logins, transactions, and changes
  • Revoking unnecessary third-party account access
  • Turning on enhanced security settings - Like fraud monitoring and access restrictions
  • Responding to account breaches - Changing passwords, contacting companies, freezing credit
  • Maintaining good account hygiene - Signing out, updating credentials periodically, deleting unused accounts
