5 Ways Consumers Can Protect Themselves in 5 Minutes

http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/03/06/consumer-protection-week-tips-advice/

 This week is Consumer Protection Week, when a group of nonprofits and government agencies come together to highlight critical issues ranging from identity theft to dodgy debt collector practices.

Most consumer protection tips tend to be reactive -- telling you how to spot a scam email, for instance, or respond to a collections call. But there are also certain proactive steps you can take right now to head off fraud and financial screw-ups before they even take place.

Here are five actions you can take to protect yourself as a consumer, all of which should take less than five minutes to complete.

1. Turn on Two-Step Verification on Your Email

Security experts will tell you that you should have a different password for every online account you open. But anyone who uses the Internet on a regular basis knows that this is virtually impossible -- you likely have dozens of accounts ranging from bank accounts to email to social media to news sites, and you access them on multiple devices.
