Create strong, unique passwords with a manager

Reused passwords mean one breach unlocks everything. A password manager fixes that without you memorising a thing.

  1. Use a long passphrase of several random words rather than a short, complex password.
  2. Never reuse the same password across accounts — one breach then exposes them all.
  3. Use a reputable password manager to generate and store a different password for every site.
  4. Turn on multi-factor authentication on email, banking and anything important.
  5. Check haveibeenpwned.com to see if your email has appeared in a known breach.
  6. Change any password straight away if a service tells you it’s been involved in a breach.

Still stuck after those?

You’ve done the right thing by trying. Send whedo.it a quick note — what you tried, what you saw — and a senior pair of eyes will be on it the same business day.
