Happy World Password Day! Did you know that despite growing cyber security awareness, many still use weak passwords that could be hacked in a few seconds, at best? Topping the list of globally used passwords in 2022 is, simply ‘password’.
There is a lot to say about password security, but here are a couple of basic ‘hygiene’ points to follow for keeping your online accounts more secure…
🔑 Go for complex – and long. A complex (and long) password contains at least 12 characters, with a variety of upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
🔑 Where possible, activate two-step verification and regularly take stock of which accounts you are active on, and close those you are not using.
🔑 Also, avoid reusing passwords on your different accounts. Doing so and one of your accounts is compromised, all others will be compromised as well.
