Giving your tech habits a makeover as you ring in the New Year is hardly as difficult as your other New Year’s resolutions.

Most if not all of them require only a few moments of your attention after which it can be forgotten. But attend to them you must…

So, here are 4 smart resolutions that can make it a happy 2014:

#1: Make security a priority

Since there cannot be any compromises with security, make sure that you either choose a strong password or a password manager such as 1Password or even LastPass. That said, try and use the password reset feature as often as possible on websites that you visit regularly.

#2: Two-factor authentication is a must

This is the year for two-factor authentication. All your accounts such as Dropbox, Twitter, Facebook, Paypal, Google and Microsoft all offer this feature for added protection. Simply put, not only will you have to enter your username and password but a security code which will be sent to your phone too.

#3: Find storage for your photos

Most people keep photos on their since it is their main camera. However, it takes up valuable space when you have a number of options such as Dropbox, Facebook and Google+ to save them to. This is advised since if something happens to your phone, you’ll lose all your photos.

#4: Maintain backups and get rid of clutter

Among the types of data that should be kept safe at all times, photos are the most precious. However, don’t forget the other types on your phone, tablet and PC and so on and so forth. Make sure you also remove applications that you really don’t use very often too.
