Password Security
Password security refers to the practices and techniques used to protect digital accounts and devices by creating and managing strong, unique passwords that are resistant to hacking or unauthorized access.
- Weak or reused passwords can lead to account breaches and identity theft.
- Hackers may use stolen passwords to access personal or financial data.
- Compromised accounts can result in financial fraud, data loss, or reputation damage.
- Cybercriminals may use leaked credentials for phishing or impersonation attacks.
Example: In 2022, a large-scale breach exposed millions of users’ credentials due to weak passwords, allowing attackers to steal sensitive data.
- Use strong, unique passwords with a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Avoid reusing passwords across multiple accounts.
- Use a trusted password manager to securely store and generate passwords.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security.
- Regularly update passwords for sensitive accounts like email and banking.
- Never share your passwords with others or store them in unsecured locations.
Your support can make a significant impact in building a secure digital future for everyone:
