World Password Day
World Password Day – First Thursday in May
Every year, we celebrate World Password Day to remind us how important it is to use strong and unique passwords. We all know the struggle: how to remember countless complex passwords? It’s time to say goodbye to complicated strings of characters that we forget right after creating them, and instead use passphrases – passwords made of sentences!
Why are passphrase passwords great?
Long and secure
Easy to remember
Very hard for attackers to guess
Examples of passwords:
BlueCatDancesAtMidnight!
SummerRainBringsFreshAir2025
NeverSkipMorningCoffee@7AM
Don’t forget: Every online account deserves its own unique password or passphrase.
Use a password manager to help you store and manage all your secure passwords.
Today is the perfect day to review and strengthen your passwords – be #CyberSmart every day, not just on World Password Day!
Tip of the day: Replace one old password with a strong passphrase today!
