2. Did you know that in 2019, over
4 BILLION
passwords
were leaked
- and that’s only the number of
known leaks*
*according to haveibeenpwned.com

3. Here’s a key thing
you should do
when it comes to
passwords
Use a
Password
Manager

4. Seriously
This is essential
If you re-use passwords
between sites, a single security
breach in one service can
compromise all your accounts
Generally, people create short
and predictable passwords,
which are more vulnerable than
long, random ones

6. Password manager
— It will protect all your
passwords with one
complex password
— It will be the only password
left for you to remember
from that moment on (but
you may want to remember
passwords for your mail
and bank too)
— Many password managers
are free, so it costs nothing
to try it
— You can safely sync the
database file with Dropbox,
iCloud, OneDrive and so on
– it is protected by strong
cryphtography

7. What’s next?
If you are using password manager, consider protecting your most essential
accounts with 2-factor authentication (2FA) – i.e. Yubikey hardware key

Before the 2FA setup, plan in advance how to recover access in case your second
factor key is lost or broken
