Study Notes
- Passphrases are more secure than passwords because they are longer and use a sequence of random words.
- Cybercriminals can fetch a tidy sum selling stolen credentials via the dark web, but poor security measures could land you in legal trouble or worse.
- To create strong passphrases, mix up uppercase and lowercase characters, numbers, and special characters.
- Never use the same passphrase across different accounts, and write them down nowhere to increase security.
- Set strong passphrases and take all means necessary to protect them, such as changing your passphrase immediately if you suspect it has been stolen.
