As we close out the year, I wanted to share with you a list of common passwords used in 2017. Here’s a list from splashdata with commonly used passwords. With that said, here are a few things to make sure your account is only used by you. Cyber security will hit hard in 2018 so be prepared.
- Don’t share your password with friends, family, staff, etc…
- For the websites and applications that can, sign up for two-step verification.
- Go for length in a password, not so much on the complexity.
- Use different usernames and passwords for each system.
- If you follow #4, then you’ll need some kind of secure password manager. Not a note under your keyboard but something like LastPass, Dashlane and 1Password.
- Don’t change your passwords often. Mainly because most of you will just add numbers to the end of your password1.
- Don’t share your password with friends, family, staff, etc…
