Passwords are the first line of defense against cybercriminals. It’s crucial to pick strong passwords that are different for each of your important accounts, and it is good practice to update your passwords regularly. Follow these tips to create strong passwords and keep them secure. Choosing the same password for each of your online accounts is like using the same key to lock your home, car, and office – if a criminal gains access to one, all of them are compromised. So don’t use the same password for an online newsletter as you do for your email or bank account. It may be less convenient, but picking multiple passwords keeps you safer. Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. In its usual form, it estimates how many trials an attacker who does not have direct access to the password would need, on average, to guess it correctly. The strength of a password is a function of length, complexity, and unpredictability.[1]
Using strong passwords lowers the overall risk of a security breach, but strong passwords do not replace the need for other effective security controls
