Updating and Selecting Secure Passwords

Why Passwords

Passwords are required to keep accounts and info limited to only those that should have access; however, weak (bad) passwords can compromise this by making the accounts easier to access via brute force cracking or using rainbow tables, that of course being undesirable.

What Makes a Good Password

A good password should be: complex, long, and easy to remember.

• Complex (Character Classes)
  • Letters
  • Numbers
  • Symbols
  • Emojis 🤷‍♂️
• Long
  • 10+ letters long
• Easy to remember
  • So you can type it in more naturally and so you don't resort to poor practices like writing it on a sticky note.
