Today is world password day 🔑
Passwords have been used since ancient times and protect humans and assets. But computers get more powerful and adversaries trickier while our brains can't handle the increasing number of long passwords.
Therefore there are helpers and alternatives.
- Use unique and random passwords with password managers
- Use Multi Factor Authentication
- Try passkeys
