Haunted by Weak Passwords?

Unlocking the Secrets of Strong Passwords: A Spook-Free Guide for Cybersecurity Awareness Month.

Halloween season is upon us, and while we're all immersed in tales of witches and werewolves, let's not forget the spooky creatures that haunt our digital world—weak passwords. It's no secret that passwords can be a real pain, especially when you're juggling around 100 of them. But the scare factor doesn't end there. Here are some spine-tingling password facts to get you in the cybersecurity spirit:

1. Weak PASSWORDS are the most common way online criminals access accounts.

2. In 2022, over 24 billion passwords were leaked (source: Digital Shadows).

3. Internet users who don't use password managers are three times more likely to be affected by identity theft (source: Security.org).

4. The most common password is "123456" (source: Reader's Digest).

5. 96% of the most common passwords can be cracked by hacking tools in less than one second (source: Digital Shadows).

6. 13% of people use the same password for all their accounts (source: Google).

Now that we've given you some chills, it's time to take action. Managing your passwords is crucial if you can't use Multifactor Authentication (MFA). The longer and more complex your password, the harder it is for cybercriminals to guess.
