With increased surveillance all over the world which has led to increase in the invasion of privacy of normal people, it is important that you know how to keep your account safe. Moreover, cyber bullies and criminals have also increased in number which has become an even bigger problem and nuisance.
Changing your password twice a month is not enough now. You have to ensure that it remains protected. For this, it is important to create a password that is strong and you should add extra layer of security to your accounts.
· Never write the password of your important accounts on your notepad or to-do list.
· Also, do not keep the password of any two accounts same.
· The length of the passwords should always be at least 12 characters.
· These characters should include upper case letters, lower case letters, symbols and numbers as well. Then only you will be making a strong password.
Logging in your hotmail account
The hotmail contact number is open throughout the day for any queries and they will be happy to assist you. However, before you go to them for any kind of problem or query, you need to at least try solving the problem on your own.
The most common problems one faces with their hotmail accounts are:
· Your hotmail account is not loading on your browser.
· Your hotmail account’s speed is too slow.
· Your hotmail account is showing suspicious activities.
· You cannot access your hotmail account despite typing in the correct passwords.
If you want to recover your mail account of which you don’t remember any password or alternate mail ID then you should try this.
· First, go to your hotmail account.
· Then, instead of logging in with your credentials (because you have forgot your mail ID and password) you should click on ‘can’t access your account’.
· Then you will be redirected to a page where there would be different options as to why you cannot access your account, click on ‘I forgot my password’.
· You will be asked to reset your password and for that you will be asked to enter your blocked mail ID.
· There would be a captcha or code that you will have to enter in the space given.
· You can either choose to answer the security question or just enter the captcha or enter the new password for your account.
When it comes to resetting your password, you should keep in mind the rules of creating a strong password. When you have recovered your password, have a look at the security questions and also set the alternate email ID in case you forget your password again.
If you are using your email account for your professional work and have sensitive data on it, you should always be extra cautious of your passwords and other account information.
