Course description
Passwords are an essential part of modern life. Every day we provide passwords to authenticate access to systems and services, both in the workplace and at home. Whilst passwords remain the most popular way that individuals connect to online services; weak, reused or rotated passwords will leave you exposed with the likelihood of an attack or breach.
A strong, unique password is better than a weak password at protecting your accounts but adding a second factor gives an added layer of protection.
With interactive learning activities, knowledge checks and key reminder messages, this short e-learning programme will look at what makes a password secure and consider the use of password managers. In addition, we will explore 2FA (two factor authentication) and the steps required to ensure that extra level of protection.
