So true and false,
00:00:12
a complex password is already an excellent foundation,
00:00:15
but if you use the same password everywhere,
00:00:18
it's like having a great lock,
00:00:19
but the same one for your house,
00:00:21
your safe,
00:00:21
your office,
00:00:22
your cloud.
00:00:23
The real problem is that in case of a breach on a site,
00:00:26
and it happens often,
00:00:27
hackers automatically test this password on all other accounts.
00:00:30
So you find yourself exposed everywhere,
00:00:33
even if your password is strong.
00:00:35
True Security is using a unique password for each service
00:00:38
and a good password manager,
00:00:39
quite simply.
00:00:41
A password cannot be guessed if it does not contain a dictionary word.
00:00:46
We would like it to be true,
00:00:48
but it's false.
00:00:49
Hackers don't just test common words.
00:00:52
They also use combinations from data breaches,
00:00:54
first names,
00:00:55
dates,
00:00:55
common phrases.
00:00:56
For example,
00:00:57
a password like everything I love,
00:00:59
even with some capital letters or numbers mixed in.
00:01:02
It is still too predictable.
00:01:03
The real secret is to create a password that is long,
00:01:06
hard to guess,
00:01:06
and doesn't resemble an easy to remember phrase.
00:01:09
A good way is to combine several words or
00:01:11
ideas that have nothing to do with each other,
00:01:13
like bicycle,
00:01:14
forest,
00:01:14
pizza,
00:01:15
cactus,
00:01:16
and add numbers or characters.
00:01:19
My account can be hacked without breaking my password.
00:01:22
True.
00:01:23
Sometimes the password doesn't even need to be cracked.
00:01:26
You can give it away yourself without meaning to.
00:01:28
You receive an email that looks like a message from your IT service or bank.
00:01:32
You click,
00:01:33
enter your password,
00:01:34
and bam,
00:01:34
it's a fake site.
00:01:35
Another possibility is that your password has already leaked due to
00:01:38
an old hack on a site you no longer visit,
00:01:41
and hackers then use it to try to get in elsewhere.
00:01:43
That's why,
00:01:44
in addition to choosing your passwords wisely,
00:01:46
it's also important to activate two-factor authentication as soon as possible.
00:01:50
It's a real extra barrier.
