🔰Part 3: Passwords and Password vaults🔰
There are three kinds of users in this world: 1. Those that use the same password for everything 2. Those that write their passwords down so they won’t forget, and 3. Those that use password vaults/generators. Passwords are the last line of defense when it comes to security and often the first thing that bad guys go after. Commonly referred to as creds, the usernames and passwords are what hackers seek to exfiltrate from the networks and systems they go after. Passwords should be changed at a minimum every 90 days and should be a complex pattern of letters, numbers, and special characters that are not easily guessed or cracked. No dictionary words allowed or any of the potential answers to your secret questions.
It doesn’t matter really the password service you use, just use one. Whether it’s LastPass, Dashlane, KeePass, or Apple’s built-in password manager. Every password in the wild is another chance for a bad guy to exploit.
