Today is World Password Day!!
This day was created to provide education on the best practices for creating and storing your passwords. So how can you protect yourself? Here are some tips and tricks to keep your data safe & secure.
1. Create Strong Passwords – use the longest password allowed and make it a combination of upper & lowercase letters, numbers and symbols
2. NEVER use the same password (universal passwords are not a good idea)
3. Enable 2 Factor Authentication whenever possible
4. Use a Password Manager (Last Pass is a great one)
5. Avoid using personal information in your password (i.e. birthdays, pet names, etc)
Passwords are a fundamental key to our security & privacy. Take this day to think about your passwords and what you can do to improve your security.
