Trusted HTTPS Websites
Before you’re going to enter your password on any login page, make sure that you can see HTTPS instead of HTTP before the URL. HTTPS protocol implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and provides better security than a normal HTTP. Untrusted websites may contain malwares and adwares that can be downloaded with the content you are downloading and install in the background.
Log out of Sessions after use
Always log out of your social accounts after use of the account. Always uncheck the “Remember me” or “Keep me signed in” check boxes while logging in to accounts and log out after using the account. With the increasing usage of social accounts, you pretty well know how much will be at stake even if one of your social account gets compromised. So make it a habit to logout of your browsers as and when your use of that account is over.
