Hey, it’s Laura with your latest tech update. Think your password is unbreakable just because it’s longer than 15-characters? Think again. New research shows even super long passwords can be cracked by cyber criminals using automated tools. There’s a new top ten list of the most common password lengths to be compromised. 8-character passwords are at number one, meaning they’re easiest to crack. 15-character passwords are there as well, in 8th place. So, length alone isn’t enough. You also need complexity and uniqueness. Always randomly generate passwords using a variety of characters. And use two factor authentication where you generate a code on a second device. Even if your password is cracked, cyber criminals still won’t be able to access your business’s data.
