We would also recommend using #PasswordManagers for securing your multiple passwords instead of using one password for all your accounts.
We also encourage use of two-factor authentication for applications where you share sensitive information.
#Share
We strongly encourage citizens to use #FreeAndOpenSource end-to-end encrypted messaging services like @Signal. Using disappearing messages features in applications like @Signal adds a layer of security to sensitive information shared by you.

This information, despite being end-to-end encrypted, is not fully secure. Sometimes, this information that we shared in good faith can fall into the hands of bad actors & cause us immense harm. This can be prevented if we take proactive steps & secure our means to #communicate.
#InstantMessaging is being used like never before, we use various apps like #Whatsapp, #Telegram, #FB messenger, We chat etc. We have work-groups in which we share sensitive details. We also share sensitive personal information with our family, friends over these apps.
As a nation, we have a fundamental #RightToPrivacy that has been guaranteed to us by the #SupremeCourt of India. Unfortunately, that right isn’t being respected by a number of #IndianMedia Houses.
