Gmail Security

There was a time when only official communication was done through emails or a very few personal information like photos and text were shared on personal e-mails. Don’t you ever sit down and think about the usage of e-mails in the last 10 years? Do once, and you would wonder how far it has evolved. Today, with booming online shopping, e-wallet industry and extensive use of internet banking and social media, the personality of e-mailing is turning exactly like our mobile phones- individualistic. And just like we are cautious about our phones, we also need to be vigilant about our e-mails. In this blog we would be talking about Gmail and have listed a few ways to secure your Gmail account:

The first and foremost measure that could be taken is setting a strong password. A strong password is as important as intermittently changing the password. What is a strong password? There are various factors which sum up to get a strong password like- length, characters and special characters. Always get a substantially long password with a mix of alphabets and numbers i.e. alphanumeric. Adding special characters makes the password even stronger. This makes it difficult to hack your e-mail.
