Why do we need complex passwords?
In the hosting business, I hear a lot of people talking about using weak passwords. Believe it or not, many people use the word "password" or a series of numbers like 1111 as their passwords.
Nowadays, passwords must be at least 8 to 10 characters long and include upper and lower case letters, alphanumeric characters, and symbols. With that being said, many people are opting to keep their old passwords.
Do you know what kind of problems can occur if your password is compromised? If your email password is broken, all of your emails can be downloaded by hackers. You can safely assume that all of your personal information in your email will be stolen. If your website password is stolen, the data on your website will be stolen and the content of your website will be rewritten.
Other company's websites on the same server will also be damaged by the stolen website data. For this reason, we recommend that you choose passwords that are as complex as possible. Complex passwords are hard to remember. Even so, please choose passwords that are as difficult as possible. Also, it is not recommended to use the same password for multiple sites.
