You can protect your identity online by creating a strong username and password. You can take a number that you remember easily and pair it with a random word to make a unique username that most likely someone won’t be able to hack into. It’s important to do this because when people are able to get a hold of your identity, your personal information and your online accounts, they are permitted to change anything on that website that belongs under your name. People can hack into your online banking account and deduct money from your savings, post bad statuses and pictures or videos that you would probably never do. These small acts can harm you and your reputation and it takes time to get it all back.
