World Password Day

On May 6, we celebrated World Password Day. In our social media, we encouraged you to celebrate this special day and suggested how to take care of your credentials on a daily basis. Here is a list of the most important tips:

  • Create a random, different, and strong password for every account
  • Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) everywhere it’s possible
  • Use some tools to check if your credentials haven’t been compromised (f.ex. haveibeenpwned.com) and sign up for notifications
  • Use Password Managers…

…like Secure Password Manager in Xopero ONE Backup & Recovery. We made it FREE for all Xopero ONE users so you don’t have to memorize all the passwords and keys used within Xopero ONE (both internal and external) to feel safe! Store them and choose from one, secure place only when needed! Available soon!
