[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1751154, member: 110816"] I firmly believe that 2FA is essential with the proficiency used by scammers to compromise your account. A strong password is great, but adding the 2FA to that makes it a lot more safer. In regards to strong password, I've just relinquished control to a password manager to create ridiculous passwords that I could never remember. The password manager itself is secured with a VERY strong single password that I can remember and coupled with 2FA (not SMS based) I concur with the other things on the list like keeping things updated. We use a private messaging system for work, and I stick with Hangouts for personal chats (primarily with my wife) that doesn't involve any sensitive information other than what to pick up from the store..
