Cyber Security Poster
Passwords are required for much of the internet. Do you use secure passwords? We’ve created a brief quiz to help determine your password security score.
- Social Media “name games” are a ploy for hackers to get personal information you might use in a password.
- Using information that is readily available, like your street address, makes it easier for hackers to guess your password.
- Using upper and lowercase letters is important. Throw in some numbers and special characters, and you’ve likely increased your password security.
- Passwords that include harder-to-guess characters, like numbers, can be more secure that those that are just letters.
- Passwords that include harder-to-guess characters, like symbols, can be more secure than those that are just letters.
- If you use one password for several applications, and one of those applications is hacked, all of the applications become more vulnerable. Use different passwords for each application.
- Two-factor authentication isn’t always available. However, it does provide an extra layer of protection and should be used when available.
