Cybercrime stats are staggering, with an expected cost of 8 trillion in 2023. Strengthening passwords is crucial in the age where our digital and real lives are intertwined.

Cybercriminals employ phishing, guessing, and brute force attacks, with "social engineering" playing a significant role in compromising passwords.

Choose strong passwords with a mix of characters, symbols, and respelling. Password generators can aid in creating complex, difficult-to-crack passwords.

Online password management services may be vulnerable; consider alternatives such as saving passwords as a dgitial notepad to a password-protected USB drive for added security.

If you really do need to remember the password, use three random words from your surroundings as a password.

Avoid sending passwords in plain text via email.
Consider using QuickForget by Automattic for secure password sharing. This is brilliant tool and totally free, with the ability to attach full documents as well as plain text.

Remember, your digital security is in your hands – be vigilant against hackers and stay proactive in safeguarding your online presence.
