Passwords are the key to all your important information and you should ask is my password safe.
Just like you wouldn’t use a single key to access your house, garage, car or office.
Having one password for multiple apps increases your risk,
but despite all the reports about Cyber Crime 3 in 4 people are still using duplicate passwords that are easy to guess.
Is my Password-safe?
So how secure are your passwords? Even if you think you have chosen a code that is really unique, hackers may still find a way to crack it.
Some use a technique called Brute Force using software they try millions of different combinations of letters and numbers until they get in.
If you choose a word that is in the dictionary it is even easier for them to figure it out.

Hackers are often given clues such as pets names to anniversaries.
