• Sign in to your account only on your own devices. This is because some apps or websites have the password autofill feature. Once you sign in to your account on other devices, it will remember your password and log into your account successfully next time.
• Enable two-factor authentication. You can go to Settings > Your Name > Sign-in & Security > Two-Factor Authentication. After enabling this feature, even though someone knows your password, they cannot log into your account successfully since they will not get the 6-digit verification code.
