Password Policies for Business: Best Practices
In today’s digital world, passwords are often the first line of defense against cyberattacks. But are your employees following the right password practices to protect your business?
As an IT Managed Services provider, we work with businesses to implement strong password policies that ensure security without the hassle.
Why Your Business Needs a Password Policy
A solid password policy is key to keeping your data safe from unauthorized access. It establishes clear guidelines for creating, managing, and storing passwords.
Best Practices for Business Password Policies
- Require Strong Passwords
Passwords should be at least 12 characters long, mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. - Enforce Regular Changes
Regular password updates (every 60–90 days) reduce the risk of long-term exposure. - Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Combine something the user knows (password) with something they have (a code or token) for added security. - Prohibit Shared Passwords
Sharing passwords creates unnecessary risk—encourage each user to have their own unique login credentials. - Use a Password Manager
A password manager helps securely store and manage complex passwords without the frustration of forgetting them.
