Password Management
- Creating Strong Passwords: Strong passwords are essential for protecting user accounts and preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information. Passwords should be complex, unique, and difficult to guess, incorporating a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Avoiding common password pitfalls, such as using easily guessable phrases or reusing passwords across multiple accounts, enhances password security and reduces the risk of compromise.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Multi-factor authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security to user authentication processes by requiring users to provide multiple forms of verification before granting access to an account or system. Common forms of MFA include SMS codes, email verification, biometric authentication (e.g., fingerprint or facial recognition), and hardware tokens. Implementing MFA strengthens access controls and reduces the likelihood of unauthorized account access, even if passwords are compromised.
