Seasons change, so should your passwords

Happy Sunday Kelly,  I know I need to change my passwords more often and good reminder for us here in the Rain.

Well said.  PC, browser all have a place to store passwords. Carries multiple computers. Have a notebook but still can not keep up with these pws.

Kelly McGovern - Congratulations on earning a FEATURE for ActiveRain! This was a great blog post and a good reminder too. I am very happy you received this well-deserved FEATURE!

Good reminder Kelly!  I need to re-do a few of them again.  Thanks!

The number of phishing scams that I get on a daily basis is very annoying.

Thanks for sharing, make it a great Sunday and enjoy the rest of your weekend! Bill

Kelly, I change some of them often, but have so many places, and they are all different.

Really good advice.  But this can seem very overwhelming at times.

Besides all of my personal accounts including banking, I'm also a mortgage banker with an overwhelming number of lending sites and programs I also have to deal with.

I use my online password manager to keep track, but maybe it's just me with almost a hundred sites and passwords to deal with this could end up almost being a full time job.   LOL. JMHO.

But appreciate your advice.

Thank you for your post and reminder.

Hi Kelly, what a fantastic and timely post for Cybersecurity Month! 💡 It's a great reminder that focusing on a long passphrase, as you suggested, is much more effective than a short, complex password. Thanks for sharing these vital tips on 2-step verification and backing up data—they're truly essential for safety online!

I think we all do the best we can with passwords, but there’s only so much that you can remember, right? :)…

Loved the title! Really good post and great reminder to pay attention! there are so many scammers out there. Well Done!

this is so true....even with facial recognition, third party authorization and verification software, we all get hacked

We need passwords for everything these days go figure, I agree very important to keep the important passwords safe.

Hello Kelly---password management is important even though it can consume time and thought.  1 2 3 4...

Kelly McGovern well, the best part is 'Share knowledge'! This is where the ActiveRain's core values lie.

(BTW, this was my first comment here after so many years!)

This was such a timely and eye-opening read, Kelly McGovern. Thank you for sharing practical tips with a dash of personality. I didn’t realize how overdue my password habits were until now, so I’m genuinely grateful for the nudge. Appreciate you making cybersecurity feel a little less intimidating and a lot more doable!

A great reminder to do this! Thank you. I tend to get stuck in my ways.

Changing passwords is very important, although most require odd combinations like one letter, one symbol that can't be a certain one, at least 8 letters, etc. And then I forget which one I've used! But very important message; thank you for the nudge.

Good morning Kelly. Now I know October is Cyberspace month. My memory had better never fail as I have so many passwords I would be screwed. And, there are some sites where I change my password often. Enjoy your day.
