Password security is an essential aspect of protecting your information and online accounts. In today’s digital age, it’s more important than ever to ensure that your passwords are strong and secure to prevent unauthorized access to your sensitive information.
Here are some best practices for creating and managing your passwords:
Use a unique password for each account
Reusing the same password across multiple accounts is a recipe for disaster. If one account gets compromised, all of your other accounts will be at risk.
Use a long password
The longer your password, the harder it is to crack. Aim for at least 12 characters, and use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Avoid using easily guessable information
Never use personal information like your name, address, or phone number in your password. Additionally, avoid using easily guessable words like “password” or “1234.”
Use a password manager
A password manager can help you generate and store strong, unique passwords for all of your accounts. It can also automatically fill in your login information, so you don’t have to remember all of your passwords. Our recommendation is Bitwarden.
Enable two-factor authentication
This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan, in addition to your password.
