Cybersecurity: Passwords
15 Minutes
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course has been developed to teach password security both at work and at home. This course explains why strong passwords matter and how weak or reused passwords can lead to data breaches, identity theft, and hacked accounts. Learners discover how to build strong passwords using length, randomness, and passphrases, and how to keep passwords safe by avoiding sharing, reuse, and insecure storage. The course also focuses on staying ahead of threats by recognizing common password attacks, knowing how to respond to risks like suspicious login alerts, and building smart habits such as using a password manager and enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA). Finally, it clears up common password myths and replaces them with practical, easy-to-follow facts that improve everyday online security.
