Today is world password day, an event kickstarted by Intel and held on the first Thursday of every May both to remind people of the importance of passwords in securing their digital lives, and to raise awareness of the best practices to use. However, with the advent of new passwordless technologies, some think they are often no longer fit for the digital world we live in.
There’s no doubt that there are good and bad passwords, and that the quality of your password can have a significant effect on your security posture. Strong passwords are long, random and have multiple character types, and you should use a unique one for every account you have. Password managers are the best way to achieve this, as they can create and store all the strong unique passwords you’ll ever need - without them, you’ll almost certainly fall into bad habits.
