World Password Day is celebrated annually on the first Thursday of May - this year this day falls on May 1. This is a great opportunity to remember that the protection of personal data begins with setting a reliable password. This was reported in Telegram by the Cyberpolice of Ukraine, reports UNN.

In order for personal data to be reliably protected, it is worth checking:
- are the passwords complex enough;
- whether the same password is used for different accounts;
- whether two-factor authentication is enabled;
- whether the password is old or has already been updated.
Ukrainians were given advice to protect their personal data:
- the password must be long;
- there must be a unique password for each account;
- the password must be changed regularly;
- do not use the cat's name, date of birth or «qwerty»;
- you should not store passwords in notes on your phone without protection;
- you should use reliable password managers;
- you should not enter your password everywhere you can.
