Why is a strong password necessary?

Usernames

The combination of username and password is only as strong as the weakest link, so if your administrator has given you an easy to remember username, it’s vitally important to choose a strong password.  This becomes imperative if you are using WordPress, using the “admin”, “administrator” username/login! Oh and perhaps avoid using the domain name as the login too, it’s an open invitation.

 

 

Password

Do not use an easy to guess password, it isn’t rocket science.  Try to avoid using any personal information in your password; if your website has links to your social media accounts like Facebook or LinkedIn then you could be giving information away for free depending on your security preferences on social media.
