If You’re Using One of These Passwords, Your Doors are Wide Open

If You’re Using One of These Passwords, Your Doors are Wide Open

Passwords are the most used account security apparatus. As such, it’s essential that everyone connected to your organization has your overall cybersecurity in mind and knows exactly how to secure the accounts they use. In today’s blog, we’ll look at some common passwords that don’t accomplish their stated purpose very well and how to change that.

Using weak or common passwords can make your accounts highly vulnerable to hacking. Some of the worst passwords include:

  • 123456
  • password
  • 123456789
  • 12345678
  • 12345
  • 1234567
  • qwerty
  • 111111
  • abc123
  • password1

Additionally, using simple variations or predictable patterns such as:

  • letmein
  • iloveyou
  • admin
  • welcome
  • monkey
  • dragon
  • football
  • !@#$%^&*
  • 123123
  • sunshine

These passwords are easily guessable and should be avoided. Instead, opt for a strong password that combines uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Consider using a password manager to generate and store complex passwords securely and to use built-in encryption to make your passwords even more secure.

You’ve probably heard a bit about blockchain. It’s a technology that is typically linked with cryptocurrencies, but its function is much more. It actually has the potential to transform everyday business operations significantly, if used properly.  Forget the complex technical stuff. At its core, blockchain is like a highly secure and transparent digital record-keeping system. Imagine a shared ledger where every transaction or piece of agreed-upon information is recorded as a block. Once a block is added to the chain, it's cryptographically sealed—meaning it cannot be altered or deleted. Everyone with authorized access sees the same information, creating a foundation of trust and clarity.
