Travel websites, how secure are they? - Dashlane’s 2018 Travel Website Password Power Rankings™ revealed that nearly 90% of sites examined “leave their users’ accounts perilously exposed to hackers due to unsafe password practices.” In addition, only a handful of these sites (just 4%) support two-factor authentication (2FA)



What can you do about it?
Dashlane offers the following (common sense) tips:


  • Use a unique password for every online account
  • Generate passwords that exceed eight characters
  • Create passwords with a mix of case-sensitive letters, numbers, and special symbols
  • Avoid using passwords that contain common phrases, slang, places, or names
  • Use a password manager to help generate, store, and manage your passwords
  • Never use an unsecured WiFi connection (e.g. public WiFi) while traveling
