Password Protection: Avoid These Critical Mistakes Today

Key insights

• Password Reuse: Using the same password for multiple accounts puts all your accounts at risk if one gets hacked.
  
• Simple Passwords: Avoid passwords that are easy to guess, like "123456" or "password". Hackers can break these quickly.
  
• No Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Not enabling 2FA makes it easier for attackers to access your accounts even if they have your password.
  
• Password Sharing: Sharing your passwords with others increases the chance of them being leaked or misused.
  
• No Updates: Failing to change passwords regularly can leave you exposed if an old password is stolen.
  
• Writing Passwords Down: Writing passwords on paper or in unsecured files can lead to them being found and used by others.
