How to Improve Password Security
Here’s Olivia’s take on reducing the chances of password compromise:
It's important to understand that your data is very valuable, and you may not realize it. You may think, ‘I keep my username over here and my password is different’. But there are tools out there that attackers have been using for years that actually correlate the two. Because they are human, people tend to use the same username and password across their different applications.
