On a consumer computer, a password like PassWord1 can be found in seconds. On the other hand, once we move to passwords with many complex characters (including symbols, uppercase and lowercase letters, as well as numbers), the time to crack increases to several months, even years!
We better understand the benefit of specific passwords to protect your personal information (bank card number, social security number, RIB, etc.) and access to various online accounts. All these elements in the hands of fraudsters make it possible to steal identities, blackmail or buy online…
To protect your information, it is therefore necessary to choose and use “strong” passwords, i.e. difficult to find using automated tools and difficult to guess by a third party.
