A Day in the Life of a Cybersecurity Analyst – Passwords
Why Your Passwords Stink and How to Fix Them
Passwords…we all have them…lots of them!! And to be safe, we need a different password for each log-in site. Why? Because otherwise, if one gets compromised, then they all get compromised.
In 2021, 123456 was the most commonly used password. What does this tell you? Yup, we aren’t giving much thought to our passwords. And do you suppose we’re changing them frequently, as we should? Nope.
Ah, you say, we now have multi-factor authentication confirming our identity, so passwords are less important. True, multi-factor authentication protects us a bit more, but NOT TRUE that we can be less diligent about password management.
Strong passwords do help to protect your accounts. But a strong, compromised password that’s used on every one of your accounts is still a compromised password that potentially opens all of your accounts to the bad guys. Too many people use the same password for every account, and the bad guys know this.
What to do?
