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.
