Today is — a reminder that strong passwords are one of the simplest and most important ways to protect your business online.

At WebWise Design & Marketing, we take cybersecurity seriously because weak passwords are still one of the leading causes of hacked websites, compromised email accounts, and stolen data.

Eleven years ago, we wrote this blog post explaining why secure passwords should never be optional — and the message is even more important today: https://webwisedesign.com/secure-passwords-should-not-be-optional/

Use long, unique passwords
Never reuse passwords
Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible
Consider using a password manager

Your password is often the first line of defense for your business and your personal financial security.
