Security Tips
Practical, actionable guidance to protect yourself and your organization. Pick a topic to get started.
Password Security
Protect your accounts with strong credentialsUse a Password Manager
Password managers generate and store strong, unique passwords for every account. This eliminates credential stuffing — where attackers reuse leaked passwords across sites. Popular options include Bitwarden (free), 1Password, and Dashlane.
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds a second verification step beyond your password. Even if your password is stolen, attackers can't access your account without the second factor — an app code, SMS, or hardware key. Enable it on email, banking, and work accounts first.
Check for Breached Passwords
Visit haveibeenpwned.com to see if your email or passwords have appeared in known data breaches. If compromised, change those passwords immediately and turn on MFA for those accounts.
Create Passphrases Instead of Passwords
A passphrase like 'correct-horse-battery-staple' is both memorable and strong. Use 4+ random words separated by dashes. Avoid dictionary words in sequence or common phrases.
