    Password managers are probably the best way to do it, especially if you set them up with two-factor authentication, but it's important to remember the manager password so you don't have any issues accessing it. You can also use a physical book that you know is kept in a safe place that no one knows where it is but you.

    My boyfriend keeps hacking my phone and now has all my info! What can I do?
    Community Answer
    If you have touch ID, use that. He cannot hack that unless he has your finger. Or, you can get a six digit password and practice typing it in until you can type it in so fast that he cannot see what you type. If you cannot trust your boyfriend around your phone, it might be time to find a better boyfriend!

    I play ROBLOX and have not shared my password with anyone, but this guy said that he would hack into my account. What can I do to prevent this?
    Community Answer
    He is most likely faking it. If you're concerned, tighten up the security on your ROBLOX account by changing your password to something very difficult to hack. If the person private messages you, don't reply to the person.

    How can I keep hackers out of Roblox?
    Community Answer
    Create a very strong password that is not related to your username. Do not give any information out related to your password and choose something that your friends can't guess either. Check how strong your password is here: howsecureismypassword.net.
