The list of passwords we need to remember in today’s world grows longer every day.
Besides your computer, email and social media accounts, think of all the banking, healthcare and other accounts - online or not - that require a password for identification.
One of the best ways for someone to compromise a business system is to start by stealing your password. Passwords are stolen every second of every day and with the increase in cybersecurity breaches each year, it doesn’t look like it will slow down soon.
Many people are not educated in how to create a strong password. Most business owners rely on their staff to create their own passwords, and if the staff isn’t aware of what makes a password really strong, and doesn’t know how to manage passwords, then company security could be at risk.
Many people don’t bother to come up with new and unique passwords and just use the same ones over and over. Splashdata recently published a list of the worst passwords of 2017.
Among the worst offenders (have you guessed already?):
