Three essential apps for better online security

Whether it be browsing the web or having a personal conversation on the internet, nothing is truly safe from hackers and the prying eye anymore. But there are apps out there which offer better security for your existing social media accounts and your internet browsing experience. Here are three of them.

LastPass Free

Platform: Microsoft Windows, Android and iOS

LastPass is a great tool for storing and remembering passwords for all your different accounts. The app even allows you to enable auto login to various websites. Lastpass also has a built-in password generator so you don't have to keep using "Th1s1smyp@ssw0rd" and other variants anymore because the app will remember the passwords for you. LastPass is a must have for remembering and organizing passwords and login Ids.

Telegram Free

Platform: Android and iOS

Telegram is the best Whatsapp alternative out on the market right now. Its key feature is its secret chat option which is an end-to-end encrypted communication log, accessible and viewable only through the devices the chat was initiated from. The secret chat also comes with a self-destruction function which allows the app to natively delete the conversation based on a timer you set for it. Telegram's other features are well rounded but it's the air tight secret chat function which makes it the go-to app for having sensitive conversations over a secure space.

Turbo VPN Free

Premium Version Available

Platform: Android and iOS

A Virtual Private Network or VPN for short creates a private and encrypted network for you to access over a public one that is, the internet. Turbo VPN is just one of the many free VPN apps that are available but its specialty is that, unlike most free VPN applications, it comes with a handful of servers for you to pick and choose from. It is also surprisingly quick and isn't bombarded with ads. Turbo VPN is a must have for anyone looking for better security on the internet.
