good sign that the app is safe. Also, read its user
reviews.

least 8 characters long, has uppercase and lowercase letters,
numbers, and symbols. E.g., ‘Cool15is@King’

computers such as those in cyber cafes.
10. Do not use free, insecure Wi-Fi networks for making
online payments. Doing so may let an attacker steal your
information.

below features:

attachments
