The second way to counter cyber attacks on mobile phones is pum up your password. On this, McAfee suggests some tricks to create one that cybercrime can’t hack: Avoid the common error of using easy passwords such as “12345” or “password.” Get complex and create a combination that isn’t logical.

***Use multi-factor authentication (MFA). Having multiple factors to authenticate your phone use such as your fingerprint, face, or a trusted device, increases security. Most smartphones offer MFA so, even if it seems tedious, use it. The more factors — or digital layers — you can combine, the more protected your smartphone will be. Too many passwords crowding your brain? Consider a password manager.
