Part 5: Some Tips You Might Need About Apple ID Security

Apple ID security is vital as it safeguards your personal information and data. Apple takes the security of the users' information very seriously, but there are some things they expect from the user too. Here are some tips that you might need about Apple ID Security to protect yourselves and your account from any potential danger:

1. Use Strong Passwords

Apple requires the users to set a strong password with a combination of Uppercase, lowercase, and numbers. Although this makes a password pretty strong, you should still be careful what you are keeping as your password. For example, it shouldn't contain your first or last name as well as your birth date as it is predictable and can be easily guessed.

2. Activate Two-Factor Authentication

With Two-Factor Authentication turned on, Apple will verify each login by sending a verification code on your trusted device to ensure no one can gain unauthorized access to your account.

3. Tricky Security Questions

Just like your password, choose tricky security questions that cannot be easily guessed. Some of the questions to be avoided are the name of your hometown? Or the name of your parents. Questions such as these can be easily guessed and help someone gain access to your account. Choose questions that are more personal and whose answers are known to you and the people you trust
