Identity theft can be a nightmare—but with the right steps, you can protect yourself and recover quickly if it happens. Here’s Positgram’s advice on what to do:

 1.     Use strong, unique passwords for every account. A password manager can help.

2.    Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible.

3.    Shred sensitive documents before discarding them.

4.    Avoid public Wi-Fi for banking or shopping—use a VPN if needed.

5.    Monitor your credit reports regularly (e.g., annualcreditreport.com)
