?? Cyber Awareness: Password Management & Authentication ??

Your password is the first line of defense against cyber threats! Weak or reused passwords can put your accounts at risk of hacking, data breaches, and identity theft.

?? Tips to Prevent Password Attacks:

?? Use a Password Manager – Securely store and manage your credentials instead of writing them down or using the same password everywhere.

?? Beware of Phishing Scams – Cybercriminals trick users into revealing passwords through fake emails, messages, or websites. Always verify before clicking!

?? Update Your Passwords Regularly – Change passwords if you suspect any compromise. Consider updating them every few months.

?? Monitor Your Accounts – Regularly check if your credentials have been compromised using tools like Have I Been Pwned or other breach monitoring services.

?? Log Out from Shared Devices – Always sign out when using public or shared computers.

?? Enhance Security with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA):

?? Enable MFA Wherever Possible – Adding an extra layer of security via SMS codes, authenticator apps, or biometrics significantly reduces hacking risks.

?? Use Authentication Apps – Apps like Google Authenticator or Microsoft Authenticator are more secure than SMS-based verification.

?? Biometric Authentication – Fingerprint, facial recognition, or security keys add an extra layer of protection.

?? Stay Cyber-Safe! Your password is your key to digital security—protect it wisely! ??

It’s crazy how many people still reuse passwords without thinking twice. A strong password and MFA take just a few extra seconds but can save you a world of trouble. Definitely worth it!
