Password Tips

Pretty much, no one loves passwords. They are, however, a necessity of our current life. The passwords that we use need to be “good” passwords. Below are a few tips:

  • Never tell your password to anyone (this includes the HelpDesk and techs)
  • Create a password using a phrase instead of a word. Much more secure and easy to remember.
  • Never write your password and post it on your monitor (or under your keyboard, that isn’t fooling anyone).

One of the safest ways to create good strong passwords is to use a Password Manager. Most of these have a cost associated with them. ( I use one, it’s worth my sanity).
