Some websites, like those of banks, use two-factor identification for extra protection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Finally, never store a record of your \u2062passwords\u200d on your\u200c computer or a\u2064 sticky note. This is the first place a hacker will look, so never give\u200d away your \u200dkeys \u2063to the digital\u200d kingdom.

Try making passwords that are \u200bhard to\u2064 guess but easy for you to remember.
