If you are tasked to create accounts, including social media accounts, for a project, website or business, here are the steps:
- First, even if your employer is not concerned about the complexity of passwords, it is better that each count have a difficult password and that the different website registrations have different passwords. The reason is that it is simple to hack multiple accounts if they share a password. If you need help managing passwords, keep the information in a spreadsheet or use lastpass.com.
- Create a google/gmail account [businessname]@gmail.com – use the business name, website name or project name. Use this account for all the other registrations.
- Set up all social media accounts including Google Plus, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
- If you need to create other registrations, set them up using this email address. This can include document sharing sites, slide sharing sites and other content sharing sites.
