Arm your digital fortress: Tips from Sander, our cybersecurity expert!
Today is "Change Your Password Day," when we put our digital keys under the microscope. But what actually makes a password strong? And why is 'qwerty' not exactly the epitome of digital security? We talk about this with our cybersecurity expert, Sander.
What makes a password strong?
A strong password acts as an impenetrable wall for your digital fortress. Important are length and complexity. Make the password longer than the list of excuses for why you haven't changed it yet. Include capital letters, numbers and special characters.
What are the building blocks of a strong password?
A strong password is unique, avoids obvious choices and does not sound like a popular hashtag. Regular updates are like changing the guards at the gate. If you delay too long, you run the risk of a siege of virtual intruders.
What are your golden rules for digital security?
In an age when our online presence is as valuable as medieval treasures, these golden rules are the key to protecting our digital existence.
- Don't reuse: A cracked armor in one battle does not mean you will lose all battles.
- Do not share: Your password is personal, guard it as your most precious asset so no one can perform actions on your behalf.
- Embrace password phrases: Password phrases are like a magician's secret formulas. Choose your words wisely and make your password a mystery. Avoid common phrases or proverbs and combine words that are not directly associated with each other.
- Two-Factor Authentication: Imagine your digital fortress with an extra moat. Double security, double assurance.
- Using password manager: If remembering passwords feels like juggling swords, Bitwarden is your go-to. Bitwarden is not just another digital vault for your passwords; it is a versatile squire that not only keeps your secret keys, but is also capable of forging strong passwords.
