October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, which is the perfect time to take a fresh look at your passwords.
Forget the old advice about cramming passwords with symbols and random capitalization. Today’s cybersecurity experts recommend using longer passphrases.
A password made up of four or five unrelated words is easier to remember and much harder for criminals to crack than a short, complex password.
Use a unique passphrase for every account and enable multi-factor authentication whenever available for added protection.
