At Price in Tanzania, we are committed to ensuring the safety of your information and providing multiple layers of security to protect your personal data and transactions. Whether you're buying or selling electronics, follow these essential tips to safeguard your account.
1. Use Social Media to Log In
One of the most secure ways to access your Price in Tanzania account is by logging in through your social media profiles, such as Facebook or Google. This method is not only convenient but also highly secure, as it leverages the built-in security features of these platforms. By doing this:
Password Management: Your password will be generated by Google or the social media provider following strong password standards. These passwords are much more secure than manually created passwords.
No Need to Remember Passwords: You won't have to worry about forgetting your password since it's managed by the social media platform.
How to Log In with Social Media:
2. Keep Your Email Secure
If you prefer to log in using your email address, ensure that your email account is secure:
Create a Strong Password: Use a unique password for your Price in Tanzania account. A strong password should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Avoid Sharing Your Password: Never share your password with anyone. If someone gains access to your account, they can misuse it.
Bonus Tip:
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for your email account to add an extra layer of protection.
3. Add Your Phone Number
Adding a phone number to your Price in Tanzania account is a great way to improve your security. Your phone number can be used to recover your account in case you forget your password or if unauthorized access is detected.
Account Recovery: If you ever get locked out, having a phone number attached will make recovery easy and fast.
Extra Layer of Protection: When we introduce mobile number login and two-factor authentication later this year, having your phone number registered will give you even greater security.
4. Avoid Phishing Attacks
Phishing is one of the most common ways that hackers steal account credentials. Be cautious when receiving emails or messages asking for your login information.
Check URLs: Always make sure you’re on the official Price in Tanzania website (https://www.priceintanzania.com).
Do Not Click on Suspicious Links: Avoid clicking on any unexpected links in emails or messages that claim to be from Price in Tanzania. We will never ask you to provide your login details via email.
5. Upcoming Security Features: Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
Later this year, Price in Tanzania will introduce Two-Factor Authentication (2FA). This feature will require you to enter a code sent to your phone when logging in, making it significantly harder for anyone to access your account without your phone. With 2FA, even if someone gets hold of your password, they won’t be able to log in without the verification code.
Benefits of 2FA:
Extra Layer of Security: A hacker would need both your password and your phone to access your account.
Protection Against Phishing: Even if your password is compromised, your account will remain secure with 2FA.
6. Monitor Your Account Regularly
Regularly checking your account activity can help you detect any unusual or unauthorized access early. Keep an eye out for:
Unrecognized Logins: If you notice any unfamiliar devices or login attempts, immediately change your password and review your security settings.
Account Settings Changes: Make sure your account information, such as your email and phone number, remains unchanged unless you made the adjustments.
7. Logout When Using Public Devices
If you ever need to log in from a public or shared device, always log out once you’re done. Avoid selecting the "Remember Me" option, and clear your browser cache and cookies after use.
Securing your Price in Tanzania account is essential for a safe and enjoyable experience on the platform. Whether you use social media to log in or email, follow these security practices to protect your account. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for upcoming features like Two-Factor Authentication and mobile number login to further enhance your security.
