Your organisation has introduced a new application that requires another password to login. You feel exasperated as it\u2019s an additional piece of information to remember in your busy working day. Surely, reusing a password created from your birthday and pet\u2019s name, that you love to share pictures of on social media, is fine. You\u2019ll never forget it as it\u2019s neatly written on a Post-it Note attached to your PC screen. Changing the temporary password to one used for both your personal and professional online accounts, you assume nothing bad can happen.<\/p>

Returning to your desk the following day, it\u2019s time to finish those quarterly reports for this week\u2019s board meeting. Sitting down at your computer you find your PC is already logged in and your critical data files have gone. Someone has gained access to your computer. Feeling a fool, you realise you shouldn\u2019t have used the same easily accessible password and now both your professional and personal data is vulnerable.<\/p>

Passwords are traditionally the first line in defence for companies, with on average, small businesses having to remember up to 85 passwords*. As a result, it\u2019s easy to understand why users suffer from password fatigue. When creating logins, it\u2019s important to remember that these passwords are the gateway to your sensitive data. Practicing good password hygiene plays a part in maintaining strong IT security to ensure your information remains secure. Follow along below as we discuss common password mistakes, how to create a secure password and the untold damage poor password use can cause.<\/p>

Common Password Mistakes\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>

According to a recent survey, 77% of people reuse passwords. Like 64% of employees, you may think that as you have Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in place, a weak password is no big deal. You are incorrect! Hackers are able to find workarounds for these additional authentication mechanisms enabling them to gain access to sensitive information**. Choosing an uncrackable password that can outsmart a potential attack is incredibly important.<\/p>

Even if you vary the passwords you use, not all are fit for purpose. It\u2019s been shown that 21% of people still create a password from their pet\u2019s name, favourite sports team or important dates**. If you share these details on social media this information might be readily available to hackers, giving them a better chance of deciphering your password. Here are some other common mistakes that can be made when using and creating passwords:<\/p>
