Still using “Password123”? It’s time for an upgrade.
Weak passwords are a hacker’s dream. One cracked password can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and a damaged reputation.
Here’s how to build a strong one:
- At least 14 characters
- Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- No personal info or common words
- Use a passphrase like “Coffee&CloudsAreGreat9!”
Avoid reusing passwords across accounts. And ditch the sticky notes—use a password manager instead. It’ll generate strong passwords and store them securely.
Want extra protection? Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). It adds a second layer—like a code sent to your phone—making it harder for attackers to break in.
If you’ve got a team, set a password policy. Train them. Scan for compromised credentials. Make security second nature.
