Creating Strong and Unique Passwords
Creating strong and unique passwords refers to using complex and distinct passwords for each account to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
- Account breaches: Weak passwords can be easily cracked by hackers.
- Identity theft: Stolen credentials can lead to impersonation or fraud.
- Financial loss: Compromised passwords can expose banking and payment accounts.
- Reputational damage: Breached accounts can be used to post inappropriate or harmful content.
Example: A user reused a weak password across accounts, leading to a widespread compromise when one account was breached.
- Use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols in your passwords.
- Avoid using personal details like names or birthdates in passwords.
- Create unique passwords for every account to limit exposure from breaches.
- Use a password manager to securely store and generate passwords.
- Regularly update passwords for sensitive accounts, such as email and banking.
