A weak password is like leaving your front door unlocked in a busy neighborhood. Cyber attackers rely on simple tools to guess weak or reused passwords across multiple platforms. This makes password security a foundational pillar of cybersecurity for both personal and professional use.

       Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification—such as a code sent to your phone or a fingerprint scan. Even if a hacker steals your password, they won’t get far without access to the second factor. Platforms like Google, Facebook, and most banking apps now offer MFA by default.

       To stay protected, use unique, complex passwords for every account—consider using a password manager like 1Password or Bitwarden to keep them secure. Enable MFA wherever possible and avoid reusing passwords. This simple habit can drastically reduce your vulnerability to unauthorized access.
