The Password Challenge

Everyone knows, but equally, ignores the challenge of passwords. If you use a password like “123456” for your online accounts, then there’s a good chance someone will break into your accounts within seconds and use your personal information for unknown purposes. The password is the essential element of online security, separating your valuable data from those who wish to steal it, so it’s worth taking the time to make a secure password.
