You have been warned — change your password now or face the hacking consequences.
It would be all too easy to assume that your password is safe enough if you don’t share it between sites and services, if you are aware of and takedoesn’t come anywhere near your devices. But what if you were wrong? What if your password is so weak it could be cracked in less time than it takes me to type the next word? Yes, it is that quick, folks.
You really don’t want to be on any password list, and most of them are compiled by cybercriminals usingand therefore weakest passwords you could deploy. Look, I get it, ease of use is key, if you’ll pardon the pun, and that’s why people stick to familiar passwords that they have used for years. Passwords that they share across accounts. Passwords that are easy to type as well as recall. And that, right there, is your biggest mistake.
So, you know what to do: change that password now. Better still, switch to using passkeys instead, as they are way more secure and even easier to use. I would also recommend using a password manager to both create and use your passwords, as this will enable you to make strong, random and unique choices.
