Despite years of cybersecurity awareness, many password myths persist. Let’s debunk a few of them:
- Myth 1: Changing your password every month makes you safer — not necessarily. Frequent forced resets often lead to weaker passwords.
- Myth 2: Adding a number to your name makes it secure — hackers test variations like that first.
- Myth 3: Using symbols like @ or $ makes it unbreakable — modern cracking tools easily handle those.
- Myth 4: Longer always means stronger — only if it’s random.
The truth is, what really matters is entropy — randomness — not gimmicks. PasswordGenetic helps you generate true randomness with one click.
