Review your security and privacy settings, and make sure those casual acquaintances you met at a bar eons ago aren't still getting the most intimate details of your life. Get rid of games and apps that might have latched onto your account years ago, but that you no longer use. Here are six cleanup tips: 1. Secure your account You've doubtless heard you should have a strong password. It's especially important for email and social-networking accounts because so much of your digital life revolves around them.
