National Cybersecurity Awareness Month (NCSAM) Tips on Passwords:
Tip #1 - Make Passwords Long
Tip #2 - Make Passwords Random
Tip #3 - Make them Unique
For most people, generating and remembering long, random and unique passwords for every account is not possible. Rather than write them down, use a password manager! A password manager is an easy-to-use program that generates, stores and even fills in all your passwords. Password managers tell us when we have weak or re-used passwords and can generate strong passwords for us. They can also automatically fill logins into sites and apps as we move from one to another.
When we use a password manager, we only need to remember one strong password—the one for the password manager itself. Additionally, we are much more likely to use a long, random and unique password on every site. And that makes it much harder for someone to steal our valuable information!
