Hey everyone! Chris Gaffney back for another weekly tech tip video for KRS IT. This week we're gonna talk about something that's coming up more and more frequent in the meetings I have and that's passwords, and what you guys should be doing with them.
Okay, so I know this is probably something we've talked about in the past. But I'm seeing it more and more frequent in all the meetings that we attend. So I just wanted to quickly address it. So passwords. I know it's a pain in the butt, and everyone has a lot of passwords these days to remember. Whether it be for personal or work.
But there are some things to remember. One of those things is definitely don't set your passwords to never expire. Almost every company we work with or that we do an assessment for, the passwords are always set to never expire. It's a TERRIBLE idea too, because most of these companies, they don't do dark web scans and stuff like that. They don't even realize that the passwords are probably already breached. So those two things kind of coincide and go together. So if you do have passwords set to never expire, sign up for a dark web scan, and let's see what's already out there and what may have already been hacked.
Okay, and once you find this out, you're probably gonna be shocked at some of the information you find, but that's okay. It's better to know, than not know or to have something happen. At that point, you can go ahead and change your passwords, which is good. And then what you wanna do, is probably look into a password manager, okay, because it's way easy. I remember Joe implemented it for us about a year or two ago and I kind of fought him in the beginning. I thought it was just another thing I have to remember. Then once I worked with it and I got accustomed to it, I realized how much easier it is. So, with the password manager, you really are only remembering one master password and that's it. You're typing it in,and it's going to remember all your other passwords for personal stuff, for business stuff, and makes life really easy when it comes to that stuff.
So that's our quick tips for the week. DON’T set passwords to never expire. if you don't have a password manager, at least change them every 30 to 60 days. And if you do have a password manager? GREAT! Use that. If you don't, look into getting it. And guys, PLEASE DO a dark web scan, because you're probably gonna be surprised at what you find out.
Alright! If you guys have any additional questions or follow ups, always feel free to email and I will see you guys next week. Take care!
