10 Online Passwords to Avoid
Don’t Let a Bad Password Cripple You
• Don’t let one bad, repetitive (used among multiple accounts) password lead to someone hacking into many accounts– Differentiate passwords between accounts (especially
social vs. sensitive personal ones i.e. online banking)
– One strong password is better than several weak ones
Don’t Make Your Password Any of These…
• Your partner, child, or pet’s name, possibly followed by a 0 or 1
• The last 4 digits of your social security number
• 123 or 1234 or 123456
• “Password”
• Your city, college, or sports team name
…Or These
6. Date of birth – yours, your partner’s or your child’s
7. “God”
8. “Letmein”
9. “Money”
10. “Love”
So, Have You Used These?
• About a fifth of you are probably realizing you use these types of passwords– Don’t worry, we all do at some point
• If this is the case, change your passwords ASAP
• If you’ve been using a generally weak password, change them fast
Do You Have a Backup Plan?
• Whether it’s before, during, or after changing your password, also establish a really good backup plan
• Backups prevent against any single point of failure including:– Accidental deletion– Account hack– Server downtime– Missing documents during eDiscovery
