Password Safety 101: Protecting Your Business One Login at a Time
In today’s digital world, passwords are the keys to your business. And just like you wouldn’t hand out keys to your office, you shouldn’t take password protection lightly. Weak or reused passwords are one of the top causes of data breaches—and small to medium-sized businesses are just as much at risk.
As a trusted provider of IT Support and IT Managed Services, we help businesses protect their most valuable data with strong password practices and secure access tools. Here's what you need to know.
Why Password Safety Matters
Your business uses dozens (if not hundreds) of accounts—email, cloud storage, software tools, banking, and more. If even one password is compromised, it can lead to data loss, financial damage, or even identity theft. Hackers often rely on stolen or guessed passwords to get into your systems.
Simple Steps to Strengthen Your Password Security
- Use Long, Unique Passwords
Every account should have a different password—ideally 12+ characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. - Avoid Personal Information
Don’t use your pet’s name, birthday, or "password123." Hackers love easy guesses. - Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
MFA adds an extra layer of protection by requiring a second form of identification (like a code sent to your phone). - Use a Password Manager
Password managers help you create and store strong, unique passwords so you don’t have to remember them all. - Regularly Update Passwords
Change passwords every 90 days and avoid reusing old ones.
How IT Managed Services Can Help
