Password Security

Why Strong Passwords?

Weak passwords are the #1 cause of security breaches. Strong passwords protect your personal and financial information from hackers.

Password Managers

Consider using a password manager to securely store all your passwords. They can generate and remember strong passwords for you.

Two-Factor Authentication

Even with strong passwords, enable 2FA whenever possible for an extra layer of security.

Password Rotation

Change passwords regularly (every 3-6 months) and immediately after any suspected compromise.

Password Strength Indicators

Fair (short, some variety)
Good (medium length, good variety)
Strong (long, excellent variety)

Password Questions & Answers

What makes a password strong?

A strong password is long (12+ characters), uses a mix of character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), doesn't contain dictionary words or personal info, and isn't reused across accounts.

How often should I change my passwords?

Security experts recommend changing passwords every 3-6 months. However, if you use a unique, strong password for each account and a password manager, you may only need to change them if a service is breached.

Are passphrases better than passwords?

Passphrases (like "correct-horse-battery-staple") can be more secure than complex passwords if they're long enough. They're easier to remember but harder to crack than short complex passwords.

What should I do if my password is compromised?

Immediately change the password on the affected account and any other accounts where you used the same password. Enable two-factor authentication if available. Monitor accounts for suspicious activity.
