Digital Safety DiscoTech: Change some passwords

Why should I change my passwords?

What should my passwords look like?

How can I keep track of my passwords?

Where should I start?

  • Changing a password you’ve never changed before.
  • Changing the password for an account you know has sensitive private messages.
  • Changing the passwords for accounts that share a password.
  • Changing a password with that you’ve shared with someone before.

What if I don’t want to change my passwords at this DiscoTech?

  • Set an alarm to change 3 accounts passwords later tonight. Ask someone to check with you tomorrow to make sure you did it.
  • Look into multiple password manager options. Here are some suggestions to get started:
  • Bitwarden
  • 1password
  • Enpass
  • Check if your email address has been part of a data breach on Have I Been Pwned

Should I use passkeys instead of passwords?
