Are you concerned about the strength of your password? Start by completing a password analysis, specific and relevant to your organisation.
Examples of questions to ask in the analysis:
- Do you share your passwords? If yes, who has your password?
- How many places have you used your password? Can you list them?
- What information have you password-protected? Would someone be at risk if that information was hacked?
- When last did you change your passwords?
