Password Security
This training gives you a practical understanding of why strong passwords are critical for protecting your online accounts and personal data.
You will learn how weak or reused passwords can open the door to hackers, how stolen credentials are traded on the dark web, and why common habits, like using simple or repeated passwords, put both you and your organisation at risk.
Course Topics
Lesson 1) The Importance of Strong Passwords
Passwords serve as keys that unlock access to online accounts, devices, and files. They allow the authorised user easy entry while keeping unauthorised users, like hackers, out.
Since online accounts are accessed via public interfaces, anyone equipped with an email and password combination can attempt to break into your account.
This vulnerability opens the door for hackers
