In today’s fast-paced digital world, password protection is often the weakest link in a company’s cybersecurity chain. Whether it’s the classic “123456,” using your pet’s name, or reusing the same password across multiple accounts, these habits can leave your business vulnerable to serious threats. Bad password hygiene isn’t just a personal risk—it puts your entire organization at risk of data breaches, ransomware attacks, and financial loss.
World Password Day serves as an important reminder for businesses to reassess how they handle login credentials. Surprisingly, many teams still rely on outdated practices like writing passwords on sticky notes, sharing them via email, or never updating them at all.
