For the non-technical majority, good password security is hard work. We’ve all heard the experts telling us that we should be using strong passwords like e3mf&QA2$1p or Bc9*szpp31D! to secure each individual login. That's great advice. But how? We can't remember more than a few of these things. And yet we need dozens.
Everyone is full of great advice but light on practicalities.
So, in the absence of alternatives, we simply stick with what we know and base our passwords on things that are familiar to us – names, dates, places, sports teams, dictionary words and so on. This puts us at risk because easy to remember passwords are also easy to guess.
Here at Password Coach we believe that the solution to our shared password vulnerability is education. To date, we’ve all been left on our own to figure out a system for password security – even at work. Of course, we learned to drive before anyone let us loose on the roads. But no one has ever taught us a repeatable method for good password security. It’s not our fault that we use risky passwords. No one is taking the time to teach us a more secure alternative. When it comes to password security, this far we've been on our own.
Until now. At Password Coach you'll find a short program of free online training that teaches us all how to master strong password security. There's no software to download or learn. In minutes you will have all of the necessary skills that you need to be able to implement your own strong password security, lock down your accounts and IoT devices, and become a whole lot safer in the process.
Password Coach is available for free for Home and Small Business users (with an optional $5 USD upgrade), and may be licensed by larger businesses to augment their employee security training.
