How safe is the cloud? I think I can say yes (most of the time)
but security in the cloud is not that simple. In the old days if you’ve locked something
up in a safe place there was only one way in and out. Placing your files in the
cloud gives you two points of protection, one on the server side and one on the
user side.
See most cloud storage sites use the same level of security that
most banks use and it’s a high quality protection from most hacker.
But what about the user side?…What can I do for my own protection?
Well, as long as my password habits concern, I think a lot! Let’s see how can I
be a smart user!
First off you have to choose a good password. The more
complicate password you use the safer data you’ll get. For that you need to
combine password which contains letters, symbols and numbers in unusual
way. And what’s if you create a real good password? Change it frequently!

Secondly, don’t share your password! Even if you trust to someone
never tell them your password. Another important thing is use different password
for different sites. Make sure you don’t use the same password for your e-mail
account as you use at banking site.
I know it’s annoying to create and change password for each
site we use and we easily get confused how we will remember all of them?
Well LastPass can solve this
problem easily. It’s a smart solution for those who only want to memorize one
password and let LastPass remember the rest of them for you…. And it’s free to
start using it!.
Finally, be careful when you logged into a site from a different
devices. Make sure you log out and don’t save your passport in public
computers.
Considering these easy steps you can create a real secure life on
your cloud.
