Protecting Your Accounts Online This Year

Why Strong Passwords Should Be a Priority

Nowadays, so much of what we do depends on the internet — from banking to shopping. It makes your passwords a prime target a hacker could want.

The problem is, a lot of users still reuse the same password for every account. When a single site leaks, all the others becomes vulnerable.

Building Better Passwords

  • Longer is stronger — more characters are far harder to crack
  • A unique password for every account to limit the damage
  • A combination of unpredictable characters
  • Avoid like pet names or dates

Why Use a Password Manager

Remembering all of these isn’t realistic. Here’s where a password manager comes in. It builds strong, random passwords and remembers them for you.

Your single job is the master key. Once it’s set up, everything is filled in for you, on every device.

Going Further

No matter how good a password is can still be stolen. This is where an extra verification step is worth enabling. When enabled, logging in requires something only you have — typically a one-time code.

It’s a minor inconvenience, but it blocks most unauthorized logins. For email and banking, don’t skip turning on.
