A weak password is still the #1 way hackers break into your network. In fact, 81% of the total number of breaches last year utilized weak or stolen passwords!
Here’s what a GOOD password should contain:
A minimum of eight characters.
Uppercase and lowercase letters.
At least one number and one symbol (#, for example).
No complete words, like “PaSsWord123#.” While this meets the requirements, a hacker’s brute-force software will crack that in seconds.
Never reuse a password for multiple accounts (like making your Facebook and LinkedIn passwords the same).
