How to prevent hackers from hacking your email.

Now, you probably have an email which you used to register your youtube account with it and you also probably have an adsense account on it too. Now, if you have all those stuff and you get hacked , everything will go away.

Now, here are some tips i will give you some tips  to keep your email safe:

1) First , i recommend getting a gmail account instead of hotmail,yahoo, ... because gmail is much safer and has so many tools to protect your email.


2) And then you should create a very strong password , and make sure to include in it letters ,numbers , some capital letters to make it as strong as possible.


3) You should put a secret question , because if you do get hacked , you can put ''forgot my password'' and easily type in the secret answer to the question and then you have the option to create a new password. However, that won't solve everything , because when the hacker is in your account , he can change the secret answer.

4) Put in at least 2 alternate email addresses , because if you can't sign , you can just click on ''forgot password'' and then you can send something to one of those alternate email which you have to sign in to that will let you change your password.


5) Use Firefox  instead of internet because it's much more safer.

6) Google has something called 2 step verification, which takes signing in to the next level. You add your number to your google account and when you sign in to your google account , and when you write in the password and username , they will send a text message to your phone that has a code that you will write in. That way , your account will be saved forever.



And that's it. For more information , contact me Karims27@hotmail.com.
