Passwords
Helpful guidance on a password process that may work for you, remember your password is is like your PIN number to your money or the keys to your home
Basics:-
Length: A strong password should be at least 12 characters long, but ideally 14 or more. Longer passwords are harder to crack.
Complexity: Include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using easily guessable information like your name, birthdate, or common words.
Uniqueness: Use a unique password for each account. Reusing passwords across multiple accounts increases the risk if one password is compromised.
Avoid Common Patterns: Do not use common patterns or sequences (e.g., “123456” or “qwerty”).
Avoid Dictionary Words: Steer clear of words found in dictionaries, as these are more susceptible to brute-force attacks.
Memorability: While complexity is important, ensure the password is memorable enough for you to recall without writing it down.
Password Managers: Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely.
Avoid Regular Changes: Unless there is a specific reason, such as a suspected breach, avoid changing passwords frequently. Frequent changes can lead to weaker passwords.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Enable MFA whenever possible to add an extra layer of security beyond just the password.
