Passwords are important for securing access to online accounts and resources. There are many ways passwords can be stolen, such as through social engineering, keyloggers, or password cracking. It is important to generate strong passwords using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Users should make passwords unique for each account and change them regularly. CAPTCHAs and reCAPTCHAs help determine if a user is human and can also digitize printed text.
