How Do You Know if Your Password Has Been Breached?

Mainly, there are two ways to check this:

• Websites that track data leaks.

There are specially created websites, such as ‘BreachAlarm’ and ‘HaveIBeenPwned’, which can be used to check for any data leaks on any of your online accounts. The process of doing this is very simple, just type your email address into the website and it will check its database for any leaks. If your data has been leaked in a breach, the website will notify you of exactly which accounts this has been leaked from.

• Password managers. 

These applications, such as Passwarden, are very useful in notifying you of any breach. These applications have software that will alert you if your data, on any website or application, has been breached at any point. When it comes to advantaged digital security, these types of applications are the best way to go, as they ensure that your data is safeguarded.

How to Create a Strong Password

Now, updating a password may seem easy, but there is actually a little bit of a challenge to it - creating one that is strong and secure. Here are some tips on how to create a strong password:

• Not using real words. Real dictionary words are easy to remember (good for you) but also easy to guess (good for a hacker!). People often use dictionary words, such as elephant or watermelon for example, because they are easy to remember. But you should avoid this!
• Not using personal information. Information, such as your maiden surname or childhood pet’s name, should be avoided too. If a hacker has access to this sort of information about you, they can easily figure out your password.
• Using at least 8 characters. This is usually the standard on most websites and applications, so stick to this length or longer.
• Using a unique password for each account and website. These should be individual and unique for every account you have online, this way you are not at risk of having all your accounts compromised at the same time.

Now, you have updated your password to one that is strong and unique but where will store it and manage it along with any other passwords you have? The solution to this – Passwarden! This is a safe and secure way to manage all your passwords of all your accounts across multiple devices.
