🔑 Password Policy
Dolphin{anty} has rules for creating passwords ⬇️
The minimum password length is 8 characters;
Different characters (lowercase and uppercase letters, special characters and numbers) must be used when forming a password
Now the system will determine the password complexity level:
- Weak (password length is less than 8 characters and recommendations are not followed)
- Good (password length exceeds 8 characters and meets at least one requirement)
- Strong (if all requirements are met)
ℹ️ A password with a “Weak” strength level will not be accepted.
Why is it so important to have a strong password?
Because it’s the first line of defense between your personal information and the outside world. It’s time to say goodbye to “qwerty123” and welcome something more secure 😉.
Stronger password requirements make it harder for hackers to crack them, preventing unauthorized access to your personal data, such as financial information and other critical account details.
🛡️ How do I increase security?
Two-factor authentication, which adds an extra layer of security to an account. It requires users to provide temporarily a code from the authenticator application, in addition to a password. This is an added assurance that even if an attacker manages to obtain the password, they will not be able to access the account without the additional authentication factor.
We will talk more about two-factor authentication in this article.
ℹ️ It is also recommended to change your password regularly to minimize the risk of hacking as much as possible.
🧐 How to Create a Strong Password?
Here are some recommendations for creating a strong password ⬇️
Use a combination of characters. A strong password should include a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Avoid using personal information. Do not include personal details such as your name, birthdate, or address in your password.
Make your password long. The longer the password, the harder it is to guess. Aim for a password that is at least 12 characters long.
Use a passphrase. Instead of a single word, consider using a passphrase—a combination of words that is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
Do not reuse passwords. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
Use password generators. These tools can help create unique and complex passwords.
