Cybersecurity Insights with Contrast Security CISO David Lindner | 5/6

Insight #1

"If your website authentication form prevents users from pasting in their password, or from using their password manager you need to fix it immediately. You are enabling and encouraging users to create and use poor passwords."
 

Insight #2

"Do a search for the top 200 most common passwords in your favorite search engine. If any of your passwords are in this list, change them."
 

Insight #3

"Use different passwords for every single account (I have over 750 myself). The only way to successfully do this is to use a password manager. Make it part of your life and routine today."
