Using and Managing Passwords

Overview

Welcome to Audio Learning from Assemble You.

Today we are discussing using and managing passwords. 

Your house often contains the most valuable possessions you own. Family heirlooms, pictures of your family, jewelry, and whatever else. Would you leave the front door open to allow anyone to walk in and take those valuable items? What about if you knew thieves were prowling? Would you lock up then?

People go to great lengths to protect their homes. So, why are we so willing to forego this level of security online? Where we do our banking. Where we shop for things. Where we have some of our most confidential conversations. 123456 is the most popular password on the internet. 123456!! According to Schneider Downs, it's used by 103 million people.
