Password Security

Post Author: Joe D365 | June 11th, 2010

Even though we use passwords every day, we often forget the importance of using a password.  We also see people using simple passwords and sharing those passwords with other people.

The reason passwords are so important is because they are used as a first defense to protect our information from unauthorized access.  All information can be vulnerable, such as banking, personal, organizational, customer information, financial, and so forth.  Passwords are at the foundation of security for information, computer, and network security.

There is an increasing number of attacks on computer systems worldwide and technology used to crack passwords has become so sophisticated that simple passwords can be broke in a matter of seconds by malicious user.�

Creating a complex password not only reduces the risk to your private information, it will also reduce the risk of your organization private information.

To ensure that you have a strong password make sure your password consists of 3 of the 4 items below:

  • At least one upper case letter. (A - Z)
  • At least one lower case letter. (a - z)
  • At least one number. (0 - 9)
  • Special Characters

To check to the strength of your password you can measure it on the Password Meter located at the following link:

One comment on “Password Security”

  1. Adding more characters increases security against brute-force methods faster than swapping letters for other characters. Length beats complexity every time.
    Complexity is only useful against purely dictionary based attacks, and can make shoulder surfing harder (although sometimes the opposite happens as typing unusual combinations can slow your typing speed right down)
