Best Practices for Creating Passwords

 

The most important first step to your online security is to have strong passwords, but the challenge is to create distinct passwords that you can actually remember or else you may fall into the bad habit of using the same login credentials for multiple accounts.

The longer the password, the harder it is to crack. Using two-factor or multi-factor authentication (MFA) with a strong password is a good practice. MFA is a security system that verifies a user’s identity with a second credential beyond a user’s password.

Additionally, we recommend using a password manager that you may download to personal devices to securely save, remember and auto-fill your passwords.

The links below provide some tips for creating strong passwords and a review of password manager applications.
