This is not advisable, because that way hackers can unlock your passwords more easily.

The PSafe, online security developer, released 13 tips for you to protect your data on the internet. The Universe Jatoba has everything for you!

1 - Create different passwords for each site, e-mail or social network you use on a daily basis.

2 - For your safety, it is recommended to change their passwords every 90 days.

3 - When creating a password, avoid using common words like cat, dog, as they are easier to be broken by hackers.

4 - Never use as a password your date of birth, parents' birthday, your address or the name of your pet.

5 - Avoid using words with strong meanings for some people as "God", "Jesus", "money" and "love." Also do not use in your passwords names of celebrities or famous brands.

6 - Use at least 8 characters when creating a password. A great tip is to mix numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters and a symbol such as * or @. A password from 14 characters is safer because it is more difficult to be broken.

7 - phrases can be used as passwords. You can choose a piece of music, a poem or a popular saying.

8 - Do not write your passwords on paper and will not save them on your computer. If you want to save your passwords for an emergency, it is best to save the file to a USB drive or drive without internet access.

9 - Use different browsers to access social networks, email or make a purchase in a shop, for example. Choose to navigate using Internet Explorer or Chrome to access your email, and Firefox or Safari to enter your social networks or conduct banking transactions.

10 - Some sites ask you to answer a security question, as the city where he was born, to which team twists, etc. Respond with information that is unrelated to the question.

11 - If you have a Gmail account, choose the two-step verification. So when you type your password, Google will automatically send a sequence of codes to your mobile phone to confirm your identity.

12 - Avoid using Wi-Fi networks that do not have a password and be public. If you have a wireless network in your home, choose a strong password to prevent unknown people to use their network.

13 - Always install an antivirus on your computer and update regularly. This practice prevents third parties to discover and use their information.
