How to Hack-Proof Your Passwords
A recent Google survey revealed that at least 50% of people reuse the same password for multiple accounts. So the question is, why would someone use the same password for different accounts? Well, on average, some people have around 200 passwords, which means it's very hard to remember all of them, especially if you're logging in constantly.
If you're one of those people with more than a hundred passwords, what can you do to remember them all without reusing most of them? Most people try keeping them short, for example your pet's name and "12345." Other people keep a written list of passwords in an insecure place on their desks or in an unencrypted folder on their computers. Trouble is, such practices expose you to cyber attacks that could be detrimental to your online presence.
The good news is that making a few simple changes to the way you manage your passwords can keep off unwanted attempts to access your data and breach your privacy. Password managers are the only tools you need to guarantee safe online use by simplifying the steps to creating strong passwords, storing them, and flagging weak passwords. And they're easier to use than you may think.
