This should not be a surprise knowing that many people follow insecure ways of handling passwords including reusing the same password for different accounts. There is no doubt that the majority of people need to rethink their password security. Hackers have been diligent in developing new techniques to steal your information, putting your data, privacy, and cybersecurity at risk. This paper shed some light on the various security threats to your password and the different ways to protect yourself against such threats.
