I’m sure all of your important information is password protected, but is it as secure as you think?
Just like you wouldn’t use a single key to access your house, car and office – having one password for multiple apps is risky.
Despite all the reports about cyber crime, three in four people are still using the same easy-to-guess password across multiple apps.
So, how secure are your passwords?
Even if you think you’ve chosen a code that’s really unique, hackers may still find a way to crack it.
Some use a technique called brute force. This is done using software, where they try millions of different combinations of letters and numbers until they get in.
If you’ve chosen a word that’s in the dictionary, it’s even easier to guess.
With so much shared online, often all it takes is a quick search of your social media profiles. This gives hackers lots of clues, from pet names to anniversaries.
So here are our 3 essential tips to create better passwords for tougher security.
Combining random words with numbers and special characters, which makes it much harder to guess as it won’t likely be a common phrase.
Using a password generation tool or a password manager to generate complex passwords & store them away from prying eyes.
