Help me protect the system from password theft.

Hi,

I would like to know how we can enable the security of the shopping app's password. I am a person who relies on online shopping too much. I am staying with my family. and sometimes my brother uses the system too.

I read about the how hackers can use software to easily obtain our passwords. https://www.campisilaw.ca/blog/password-safe-might-vulnerable-think/ What this blog has recommended is to use the first letters of a memorable sentence and use upper and lower cases. I immediately changed my social media and e-commerce user account password with it.

However, I would like to know, if there are other solutions to prevent hacking. To be honest, I don't trust my brother and but, I can't ask him to forbade from using my system.

Please suggest me best ways to safeguard against password theft.

Randomly (or pseudo-random) generated passwords, and use a password management tool, either online (like Lastpass - make sure to disable its ability to work offline) or desktop (KeePass or SplashID Safe). And make sure to disable the browser's ability to memorize passwords, since anyone using the browser can access your passwords stored there.

1Password is good as well...

Two factor authentication is a good thing - keychain apps like 1Password support this, and something to strongly consider...

with 2 factor authentication it depends. Many famous media accounts were hacked because of 2 factor authentication with the phone companies being the weak point. so the 2nd and/or 3rd factor you use should also be considered too.
