Poor password security now accounts for 81% of data breaches. This is because many people still use weak and easy-to-guess passwords.
Hackers love weak passwords as they’re easy to crack. Once they have access to one account, they can often use this to gain access to others. This is known as password reuse, and it’s a major security risk.
To protect your organization, you should always use strong and unique passwords. These should be at least eight characters long and contain a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Invest in a reliable password manager to help you generate and store strong passwords. These tools can also help you avoid password reuse.
