As the world progresses rapidly with new advancements in technology, so does the need for privacy & protection.
Advancing password cracking techniques and computing power have reduced the effectiveness of previously established best practices for privacy and security. Now, there is a vital need for passphrase complexity, rather than the usual 4-digit passcode.
What is a Passphrase?
A passphrase is a grouping of words or other text used to control access to a PC framework, program or information. It is like a password, but for added security, a passphrase is generally longer.
Therefore, we recommend all credentials to adopt passphrase complexity requirements by following the below:
Use longer passphrase of eight (8) characters or more;
Recommend to contain characters from two of the following three character classes:
Alphabetic (i.e., A-Z or a-z)
Numeric (i.e., 0-9);
Punctuation and other characters (e.g., !@#$%^&*()_+|~-=\`{}[]:”;'<>?,./)
