Password management

By :

Ask anyone about their ‘password retention policy’ and you’ll hear many variations of how they use this or that software for this and that reason.  When it comes down to it, there are all sorts of reasons to use software to manage your multiple passwords.

Another method that can be very effective is using the same password on every account. While this could potentially provide unwanted access into many accounts, using the same password and changing it periodically also makes your password a moving target and difficult to be broken. However, if you have many passworded accounts, then changing them could become an afternoon project.

Either way, you should your passwords periodically and touch up on those random password creation skills!

Remember – when possible, use a combination of letters, numbers and charactors to improve your password protection.
