How much of your personal data is stored online? Well, if you are anything like the \u2018average Jo\u2019 \u2013 the answer is a lot! In 2019, the vast majority of us bank and shop online, have official documentation stored online, have all sorts of personal information stored in our emails and let\u2019s not forget about our photos and videos.<\/p>\n

And the scary thing \u2013 the only thing that is stopping cybercriminals from accessing our vital information that is saved online is our passwords.<\/p>\n

Today is World Password Day \u2013 a perfect opportunity to give our password strategy a health check. \u00a0Because if we are serious about protecting our vital data that is stored online then we need to get SUPER serious about managing our passwords!<\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s give your passwords an overhaul. Why not schedule some time in your calendar to ensure your passwords are in the best shape? Here are my top tips on what you can do today to ensure you are doing all you can to protect your private online data.<\/p>\n

How To Give Your Passwords A Health Check:<\/strong>\"\"<\/h2>\n
1. Check To See Whether Your Passwords Have Been Exposed<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The first step is to see whether your passwords have been compromised in a data breach. Check out\u00a0 www.haveibeenpwned.com.au<\/a> to see whether cybercriminals have already discovered your passwords. If so, then they need to be changed wherever they are used ASAP.<\/p>\n

2. Commit to Not Using Common Passwords<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Using common passwords such as \u2018password\u2019, \u2018123456\u2019 or \u2018qwerty\u2019 is quite frankly, a waste of time. It would take cybercriminals a matter of seconds to unlock your online banking data. Also avoid using simple personal details within your passwords such as your birthday, name or kids and pet names as a quick scan of your social media accounts would allow cybercriminals to find this in just seconds. Always make your passwords random and obscure. Why not consider a nonsensical sentence?<\/p>\n

3. Add Numbers and Symbols to Your Passwords <\/strong><\/h5>\n

When you are setting up a new online account, many organisations will require you to add a number or symbol to your proposed password to give it additional \u2018password strength\u2019. Passwords that include a variety of capital and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols are far harder to crack so get creative and layer up your passwords.<\/p>\n

4. Ensure Every Password Is Unique<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Many people use the same password across all of their online accounts. And while this makes life easier, it increases your risk of your vital online data being compromised big time. Remember, if a hacker discovers just one of your passwords \u2013 and it\u2019s the only one you use \u2013 all of your online personal information is at risk! Therefore, it is crucial to ensure all your passwords are different! I know, it sounds like a lot of work and brain power!<\/p>\n

5. Simplify Your Life with a Password Manager<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If the idea of creating individual complex passwords for each of your online accounts \u2013 oh, and changing them every 2 months, is giving you palpitations, then I have a solution \u2013 a password manager!<\/p>\n

McAfee\u2019s Total Protection<\/a> includes Password Manager, which stores, auto-fills and even generates unique passwords. Creating and remembering (!) complex password for each online account is taken care off. All you need to do is remember one master password in order to access the rest of the passwords! And if there is a data breach, it\u2019s super easy to quickly change a password too.<\/p>\n

6. Set up Two-Factor Authentication Where Possible<\/strong><\/h5>\n

If you have the option to enable two-factor or multi-factor authentication with any of your online accounts, then do it!! In simple terms, this will mean that you need to provide more than one way of identifying yourself before gaining access to your account. Often it is your password plus a code sent to your smartphone or even your fingerprint. It\u2019s an absolute no-brainer as it adds another layer of security making it harder to cybercriminals to access your vital online data.<\/p>\n

Now, if you are thinking about skipping out of your password overhaul, then please think again! Passwords are the first line of defence to protect your vital online data from cybercriminals. So, put the kettle on and make today the day!<\/p>\n

Till next time!<\/p>\n
