TIPS & ADVICE
Password Hacking CONTINUES To Rise. How Secure Is Yours?
With so much of our lives online – from banking and emails to health records and passport details – it’s important to keep your digital life secure. A great action that everybody should be doing (but may be lacking) is using strong passwords.
Here’s 5 tips to making your passwords more secure:
1. Don’t include anything in your password that is personal to you or describes you. Not your name, birthdate, address, phone number, etc)
2. Longer passwords are better so make sure they are OVER 15 characters.
3. Use different passwords for different accounts. If one gets hacked or leaked, you don’t want them all to fall when it gets posted online.
4. Use a phrase or random string of characters. Don’t use proper nouns or real words found in dictionaries. Be random with characters - Upper, Lower, Numbers, Symbols
5. Activate two-factor authentication on your accounts. Passwords alone can be guessed and phished and, once stolen, tried against a range of accounts to find more access.
