When we tell you that it’s a best practice to implement complex passwords for your business, do you know what exactly a complex password is? The truth of the matter is that secure passwords are a little confusing, and the standards continue to shift back and forth. Let’s examine some of the industry-standard best practices for implementing secure passwords and how your organization can go about doing so.
For a quick reference of password best practices, please review the following list:
The best password practice is to rely on more than just passwords; you should also implement password management tools and multi-factor authentication to augment your security. Password management tools let you use multiple complex passwords in an easy-to-use encrypted vault where they are stored until they are needed.
Multi-factor authentication can also help your accounts by requiring more than one “key” to open your accounts, so to speak. Essentially, when you use multiple factors, hackers need more than just your password to break in, making it much more difficult. We recommend that you use at least two of the following three factors: something you have (an external device, like a smartphone), something you know (in this case, a password or PIN), and something you are (a biometric like an iris or fingerprint scanner). This will maximize your organization’s account security.
