One effective way to do this is by choosing a strong password that includes a mix of upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoid using easily guessed information, such as birthdays or common phrases. Additionally, never share your password with anyone, regardless of the situation, and always log out of your account when you’re finished using it, especially on public or shared devices.
