January 20 is Password Change Day, a good opportunity to review how passwords are used – both at work and at home.
Weak passwords, reuse and sharing via email or notes are still some of the most common causes of security incidents. A single leaked password can give unauthorized people access to multiple systems. Therefore, passwords need to be managed in a structured and secure way.
A good password strategy
A good password strategy is based on a few basic principles:
- Unique passwords for each service
- Sufficiently long and complex passwords
- Secure storage and easy access for the right users
- Ability to share passwords without them spreading uncontrollably
Trying to keep all this in your head rarely works in practice. Therefore, we recommend using a password manager.
Keeper – password management that works in everyday life
As a CoreIT customer, you can use Keeper Password Manager to manage passwords in a secure and convenient way.
With Keeper you get:
- An encrypted vault where all passwords, passkeys and other sensitive information are stored
- Automatic creation of strong and unique passwords
- Autofill in browsers and apps
- Secure password sharing within the organization
- Access on computer, mobile and tablet
Keeper is built according to the zero-knowledge principle, which means that no one outside the organization can see the contents of the vault – not even the supplier.
For many businesses, this also means fewer support cases related to forgotten passwords and account lockouts.
Our tip:
Take the opportunity to review your password management on Password Change Day.
If you are already using Keeper – make sure all users are up and running. If not, it’s a simple step to raise the security level right away.
