Almost every day on the Web there are news about another hacker attack, or about the leakage of information from iCloud users. Most of them simply do not sufficiently protect their profile, and therefore are confirmed by easy hacking.

Then how can you safely defend yourself? We will tell how.

We put the dynamic password This is not some special combination that changes itself. This is the password you come up with.. Just need to change it with a certain periodicity. And it is desirable, without adding one digit or letter.

A good password should consist of at least 8 characters, including uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, different characters. Example - hJil5 &% GAf.

Enable two-factor authentication This method is considered the most reliable because it requires confirmation of the input from another device or via SMS, or push messages.

Step 1. Go to Settings -> iCloud. Tap on Apple ID.

Step 2. Push Password and Security.

Step 3. Tapping on Enable two-factor authentication.



Using the password manager Using complex passwords is a difficult task, because they need to be kept in mind. Safari has a built-in password management function, it is good enough if you use the browser on all your devices.

However, stand-alone programs offer additional features. We can recommend 1Password. The master password required to enter the application is not stored in the iOS key store. Protection against brute-force attacks is guaranteed by the algorithm SHA512 and PBKDF2, and each element of your database is encrypted with a 256-bit key (AES).
