Why Strong Passwords Is Worth Taking Seriously

Nowadays, most of our daily life depends on the internet — from work to entertainment. This turns your login details a prime target a hacker could want.

The problem is, most of us use something easy to guess for every account. If one service is breached, the rest of them is suddenly at risk.

Building Better Passwords

• At least 12-16 characters — more characters take much longer to break
• A unique password everywhere so a single leak stays contained
• A mix of letters, numbers and symbols
• No personal info like pet names or dates

Why Use a Password Manager

Memorizing dozens of unique passwords is where most people give up. That’s exactly where a password manager comes in. It generates secure credentials safely in one encrypted vault.

The only thing you memorize is the master key. Once it’s set up, everything is filled in for you, on every device.

Two-Factor Authentication

No matter how good a password is isn’t bulletproof. This is where an extra verification step is worth enabling. With it turned on, signing in needs something only you have — typically a one-time code.

The extra step is tiny, and it prevents the vast majority of hacking attempts. For important accounts, it’s well worth turning on.
