On World Password Day, experts draw attention to increasingly unsafe and easily hacked passwords

The future is one without passwords, but for now cybersecurity experts recommend that we pay attention to the words used to authenticate in the application that contain vital data about us.
Reporter: Cristian Bâcâin – Marking World Password Day, a cybersecurity expert said that passwords have become increasingly insecure and easy to hack. A recent study shows that common and obvious expressions, such as 123456, in reference to the usual string of the first letters on the keyboard, are often among the most used passwords used globally. When creating a password, it’s a good idea to use a collection of three unique random words that you don’t use across multiple accounts, or use multi-factor authentication, that is, in addition to your name and password, and receive a message on your mobile phone. to indicate that we want to connect to that application. Biometric authentication is also very secure. It makes a map of facial features, which it stores in a database as a facial print. The system does not perceive the face of an individual like humans, but perceives it as a lot of adjacent pixels. The advantages of using biometric recognition technologies are somewhat obvious, considering that the fingerprint of the finger, face, iris or voice is a unique feature for each individual, it cannot be counterfeited and ensures a high degree of security. The recommendations made by the experts come against the background of the increasing number of cyber attacks to which we are subjected. (RADIO ROMANIA NEWS)
