Technical Requirements

Why is password protection important?

Password protection is a form of information security process designed to protect user data and information from unauthorised access. You often require passwords to access computers, devices, business systems and online accounts. Password protection ensures the safety of sensitive user data and business information and prevents cybercriminals from obtaining access.

What is an example of a good password?

A strong password is hard to guess and resistant to hacking or guessing. A good password is long and includes a combination of upper-case letters, lower case letters, symbols and numbers. The key to creating a secure password is to start with a simple phrase and make it more complex. For example, ‘$m3llycat’ is a much stronger password than ‘smellycat’

What makes passwords vulnerable?

Password protection is fairly common in many functions of day-to-day life. Whether that's accessing business systems, online bank accounts or social media profiles, passwords are ubiquitous. The number of passwords required these days mean that many people tend to have more than one to remember which can lead to reusing the same password for some or all accounts, making them vulnerable and posing a information security risk.
