How to Prevent our account from been hacked

1. Choose a strong password
The first step to securing ur social media account it creating a strong password, and No, I don’t mean Password123456. Strong passwords typically contain symbols,numbers and letters mixed in uppercase and lower case but try using something not too complicated for you to remember.
2. Two-Factor Authentication

This is probably the best and most secure way to log in and protect your social media accounts. Think about this the same way you use a hard token or one-time-password (OTP) for your bank transactions.When someone tries to log in to your account, they have to input a PIN that will be sent to a phone number before they are granted access. Many social media platforms currently have and recommend this feature to help protect your account.
3. Change your password regularly

A strong password is not enough to keep your account secure, so it is advised that you change your password at least once in 3 months. This is to make sure any old or public devices you haveused in the past can no longer access your account.....
4. Be careful and only use trusted third-party applications

Before using a third-party app 2 manage any of ur social media accounts, u must first grant such app access to ur account. Third-party apps can often do different things on ur behalf including posting on your behalf
Hence it is VERY IMPORTANT that you research such app and only grant access to trusted third-party apps. It is also very important to READ and be sure what information you are giving such app access to.
