Passwords: The bane of every users life
Everybody hates passwords as they can never remember them, but they are a necessary evil if you want to remain safe in the online environment. You wouldn’t leave your house without locking the doors, it should be the same with your online accounts. Passwords are your lock and key.
Below are some tips on creating passwords that are secure, but easy to remember :
Passwords should be strong enough to protect your organisation. However, very complex passwords can be hard to remember, resulting in people choosing weaker passwords or repeating them across accounts.
Use or include three random words such as “horsebatterystaple” in your password to help protect against common issues like brute force attacks (where an attacker tries many passwords with the hope of guessing it correctly), while keeping it simple enough to remember. You can also include symbols, capital letters and numbers to make it even more secure.
Passwords should always be enabled, for example on mobile phones and laptops, and default passwords should always be changed to something unique by the user. They should also be changed in the event of a loss, for example if you’ve witnessed suspicious activity being undertaken on the account.
What our customers say
Alison and Dave first came to my attention at a Network meeting, Mac users both, my partner and I are of a certain age which precludes us from being computer 'naturals', we didn't grow up with this stuff so it follows we need help. I found out quickly that very few so called 'professionals' really understand Mac, these two absolutely do and are a genuine pleasure to deal with. They know their subject inside out, and will go to any length to help you. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone with an interest in getting their problem fixed, all at reasonable rates. I think they handle pC's too...
