Hot Take:

It’s World Password Day, folks! Time to swap out “password123” for something that doesn’t scream “hack me!” Remember, passwords are like underwear: change them often, don’t share them, and definitely don’t leave them lying around!

Key Points:

– Passwords remain crucial despite advances in cybersecurity technology.
– Data breaches have made billions of stolen credentials available to cybercriminals.
– Essential password practices include using password managers and enabling MFA.
– Phishing remains a significant threat to even the strongest passwords.
– World Password Day is an excellent opportunity for a digital security makeover.
