A tech expert suggests the use of passphrase and two-factor authentication in ensuring privacy protection while using online apps.

For passphrase, you can use space to make your password unique. You can also use numbers in place of letters with the similar shape such as letter "O" that you can replace with the number "0."

The two-factor authentication is available for online platforms and mobile apps.  -- BAP, GMA Integrated News
