Cybersecurity Awareness – Passwords

As we dive into Cybersecurity Awareness Month, let’s talk about passwords — those little gatekeepers of our digital lives. Think of your password as a superhero: it should be strong, unique, and ready to save the day! Aim for at least 16 characters — that’s like a novel, but with fewer plot twists. Mix in uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, because who doesn’t love a good character arc? If remembering all those characters feels like a chore, consider using a passphrase — a quirky sentence made up of random words, like “PurpleElephantDances!” It’s easier to remember and just as secure! And remember, using a password manager is like having a sidekick who remembers all your secret identities, so you only need to recall one master password. Let’s keep those cyber villains at bay and make password safety a little more fun!
