HOW TO Keep Your Twitter Account Secure
Twitter is just cool. You create and listen to the buzz and you have even learned to do that on the way (while commuting, having a lunch, etc).
Suddenly you find yourself so much dependent on social media that you could never have imagines that: You can’t spend a day without checking your friend’s photos or reading your favorite Twitter list’s update. Then you come to realize how much data you store and share online about yourself and how much you depend on it…
Luckily, there are ways to keep your Twitter account secure, and so keep this from happening. You can also protect your account from hackers
Eliminate Risk Through Diverse Passwords
It might be a little bit of a hassle. But a quick way to improve security is to reuse a different password every time. Even changing the number at the end of a word is enough to protect yourself and your users. You will also be avoiding the pitfalls of password leaks that happen on both small and large websites alike.
Regularly change your password through your account settings, at least once every two months. But I would recommend doing it monthly for best results.
Disable Access From Third Party Apps
Not all spam comes from dishonest sources. You can find things in your feed from big names that you have allowed access in the past. By going to the Apps tab on your settings page you can revoke access and keep them from jumping into the conversation.
This has been made simpler by letting you go app by app, so some can be disables and other still allowed to function.
Another thing to keep in mind here: Choose only reliable desktop apps. Don’t download anything you are not sure about. It’s better to use official Twitter desktop apps or Tweetdeck
Keep An Eye Out
The best thing you can do is keep an eye on your chat and be vigilant. If something looks like spam, it probably is. Just remove it as quickly as possible, and have others who have access to the chat as moderators do the same.
Since a lot of spam will come from the same account, you can block them out as soon as you see them. Sometimes this will be enough, though the more popular the tweetchat the more accounts you will have to block. Just watch out and take care of it along the way.
Conclusion
The truth is, you won’t be able to keep spammers out of your chats all the time. You also might find that some comments look more legitimate and so slip through the cracks until they have already thrown the chat off. But with a bit of effort, you can minimize the damage.
Keeping a twitter account secured is a must for every twitter users even small or big companies. There are lots of spam in twitter as well as hackers. Sometimes that are instances that your twitter account will get suspended even it doesn’t engaged in spamming.
