Have password weariness? Sometimes it does seem like every step you take online requires a password. It’s tempting to use something that’s easy to remember and type, like password or baseball, or to reuse a password you’ve used on dozens of other sites. But with hacking and password theft on the rise, that’s risky. A sound password strategy gives you a combination of security (passwords that are sufficiently complex to resist guessing by humans or computers) and ease of use (not having to remember and constantly peck out long strings of random gibberish). Learn how to best manage your passwords — how to create them, when to share, when to update, and more. Go home with risk reduction strategies you can use immediately.
