5 common password mistakes you should avoid
We Live Security
Typing in a password to access one of the tens or hundreds of services that we use has become such an everyday part of our lives that we rarely give it a second thought. Quite often we try to keep our passwords simple and easy to remember so we can move quickly past logging in and get on with what matters. That is just one of the many mistakes we make when it comes to something that we rely on to secure a part of our digital identity.
Since today is World Password Day, there is no better occasion than now to look at the five most common mistakes that you may be making when it comes to passwords.
Password recycling
One of the most common and prevalent mistakes is password recycling. The problem often starts with the creation of the password itself. More often than not, people create passwords that are easy to remember, which usually means that they are short and simple, although now most services have requirements for a minimum length and the types of characters that must be included.
