Question 1

What makes a password strong?

Accepted Answer

A strong password should be at least 12 characters long, use a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols, and be unique for each account. Avoid using personal information, dictionary words, or simple patterns.

Question 2

How long should my password be?

Accepted Answer

We recommend passwords be at least 12-16 characters long. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. For sensitive accounts, consider using 20+ characters or a passphrase.

Question 3

Should I use a password manager?

Accepted Answer

Yes, password managers are highly recommended. They generate strong, unique passwords for each account and securely store them so you only need to remember one master password.

Question 4

What is two-factor authentication?

Accepted Answer

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification beyond your password, such as a code from your phone or a hardware key.

Question 5

How often should I change my passwords?

Accepted Answer

Only change passwords when there is evidence of a breach or if you suspect your account has been compromised. Using strong, unique passwords with 2FA is more important than frequent changes.
