Even if someone knows the password it’s simply not enough to log in. Using phone number, app, bank-ID or finger print as a second factor adds an additional layer of security. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for all services where it is possible.
Do not use passwords that are easy to guess, for example ”password123” or ”admin”. Never send passwords to anyone via email or online messenger services. If one of your accounts gets compromised, the hacker can not gain access to your other accounts, which greatly limits the damage. Never re-use a password! Use a unique password for each of your accounts. This way you only have to remember your master password - make sure you store this in your head. Use a password manager tool (for example LastPass, 1password or Dashlane) to manage and store all of your random passwords organized, encrypted and convenient. Your password should contain at least 10 characters and include a combination of lower case letters, upper case letters, digits and special characters. There are many ways a password can be compromised, for example web server hacks, brute force attacks, rainbow table cracking or social manipulation. A strong password helps you to protect your personal information as well as your identity and money.
