Password Security
The First Line of Defense for Your Accounts.
A strong password is a critical component of your digital security. Weak or reused passwords are a primary target for attackers seeking to gain unauthorized access to your accounts and our company systems.
Creating Strong Passwords
A strong password should be:
Long: At least 12-14 characters in length.
Complex: Use a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Unique: Use a different password for every single account.
Consider using a passphrase—a sequence of words—to make it long, memorable, and hard to guess. Example: "Correct!Horse-Battery:Staple9".
Best Practices
Use a Password Manager: This is the most effective way to manage unique, complex passwords for all your accounts.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Always enable MFA wherever it is offered. It provides a crucial second layer of security.
Change Passwords When Necessary: Change your password immediately if you suspect an account has been compromised.
