World Password Day is observed on the first Thursday in May, the focus of which is to promote superior password etiquette.

Passwords are often the only barrier between our most treasured photos, personal and professional email messages, social media accounts and financial services accounts.

Here are some tips on how to keep your data at arms length from the cybercrooks:

1) Use a password manager such as Keepass or Dashlane – a good password manager comes equipped with a password generator that will allow for the creation of multiple, unique passwords.

2) Create a unique password for each account.

3) Do not use one word passwords – such as the word ‘password’ (still one of the most common). Or any of the other most common passwords.

4) Use multi-factor authentication whenever possible – email confirmation, fingerprint recognition, SMS or add a trusted device as an additional security layer.

5) Add password/pin protection to your mobile phone.
