How can you protect your passwords?

Phishing, stolen credentials, and human error challenge your password security.
Take action and improve your defense against them.

With the LastPass built-in password generator you don’t need to fuss with thinking
of new passwords. LastPass will generate a unique password for each account you
create.
Make sure your passwords are at least 12 characters long and contain letters,
numbers, and special characters.
Don’t use any personally identifiable information in your passwords.
Avoid password reuse with the security dashboard, which alerts you to take
proactive action when you’ve reused a password or created a weak one.
When you create a password on your own, use random characters, but don't follow
easy-to-recognize patterns – e.g. “qwert” or “12345.”
Never share your passwords via email or text message. Share your sensitive
information with friends and family through LastPass’ secure password sharing.
Avoid using similar passwords that change only a single word or character.
Update passwords after every three months.
Use a password manager like LastPass to save your passwords, it keeps your
information protected from attacks or snooping.
