How to Improve Password Security
For business Mike is a fan of password vaults:
I love the concept of the password vault. I think that for every consumer, every kind of employee, they should have their credentials within some type of vault. The easiest way to make sure that you don't get hacked consistently is to make sure that you have stronger passwords. The easiest way to manage your strong passwords is with a password vault and implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever you can.
Here’s Jessica’s take on mitigating password risk at home:
I am a big fan of password managers. I have actually been on a campaign with my own family and extended family over the past couple of years to move them to a password manager or even a logbook at home. It allows you to have very complex passwords without having to remember them. You only need to remember your master password, making you safer by default.
