Password Security Best Practices
How to Create a Secure Password
If your password strength rating isn't satisfactory, it's time to enhance your security with a stronger password. Follow these best practices:
- Use 12-16 Characters: Longer passwords are significantly more secure. Our research shows that 45% of Americans use passwords with eight characters or fewer, which are highly vulnerable.
- Mix Characters: Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols to increase complexity.
- Unique Passwords for Each Account: Avoid using the same password across multiple platforms to minimize risk.
- Avoid Personal Information: Do not include easily accessible information like birthdays, addresses, or names of family members and pets.
- No Sequential Characters: Steer clear of consecutive letters or numbers (e.g., ABCD, 1234).
- Avoid Common Passwords: Words like "password" or repetitive characters are easily guessable and should be avoided.
Why Strong Passwords Matter
Weak passwords can lead to severe consequences, including:
- Identity Theft: Hackers can access personal information such as names, addresses, and bank details, leading to financial loss and identity theft.
- Privacy Breaches: Unauthorized access to accounts can compromise your privacy, such as hackers accessing your home security cameras.
- Business Risks: Data breaches can result in significant financial losses, reputational damage, and loss of market value for businesses.
