Social media is everywhere. The majority of kids have access to social media using their cell phones, iPad, and family computers. In order to have an account, personal information must be provided to get set-up. Only provide information that is mandatory and set-up a strong password for entry. In the article from Forbes online, indicates that the one should have the maximum complexity within the email password, as that is the fortress for the hacker once breached. All other social media sites or any account should have different passwords than your email. This will eliminate how quick the hacker can gain access to all your account information. Additionally, there are now double passwords or two-stage verification within the account settings. Please use this feature on all your accounts. I felt like Danie Taylor, in the 2014 article "In Protecting your privates: How to keep your Personal Data Safe online", was a very valuable and informative instruction to keep my information safe. I did not know that most social media outlets and gaming centers had introduced the two-stage verification protocols. I have now implemented this in my accounts and have made both my mother and sister perform these additions to their accounts as well.
