📧How to secure your Gmail account?💻

📧How to secure your Gmail account? ✨ 💻Do you mean, from Hackers? It seems like not only them can harm your data on your Gmail but even the service providers itself can see or viewed your information. The only one that we need to do is to improve the security settings on your account.✨ 💻Based from google.com the following are the things I gathered and could help improve your Gmail’s security?✨

**✅**First is Encrypt your Gmail. Too make sure that no one can access your account you must put encryption on your account, even the service provider itself cannot view or open your information. You can search third party plugins that can encrypt your account but it is more complicated to do(it is too technical to do). I’ll show sample on my next article.✨ https://emojipedia.org/check-mark-button/

**✅**Second is Use strong passwords. Once you enter your password during the creation of account it will notify how strong is your password. If you input easy password, then hackers will access it easily. 80% of data breaches occur because of a weak password. Strong password composed of 8 characters with symbols, capital/small letters and numbers.✨ https://emojipedia.org/check-mark-button/

**✅**Third, the use of two (2) Step Verification. First is activate the 2 factor authentication in your account settings. Then input your number for verification process. When you log in, you will notify to input your number and it will automatically verify to your phone and receive a code. This happens every time you log in.✨ https://emojipedia.org/check-mark-button/

📣**Are your data vulnerable from hackers?**✨ 💻The answer is yes, but only to some reasons. Based from information from google, Gmail is encrypted with TLS while transferring your data the system protects your emails. As I mention earlier, even google already enhanced their privacy settings, still your data is not secure by the service provider. Not only Gmail but I think all platforms are not totally secure from its service provider. (just leave a comment if you don't agree)✨ 💻In short, your personal data is perfectly safe but nothing is one hundred percent (100%) absolute secure. But we have republic act to protect our personal data this is under RA10173, people whose personal information is collected, stored, and processed are called data subjects. Personal data is treated as the same way as your own personal property. (based from privacy.gov.ph)✨ 🏧Author's Epilogue✨ 🏧Thank you for asking this question from @Mictorrani.
