What Is Intel and Its Security

Default passwords are standard pre-configured passcodes that come with your devices. Generally, default passwords are not safe to use because they are generic and can be guessed with ease. This defeats their main purpose, which is to restrict other people from getting access to your device. It is therefore very important to protect your devices by using strong passcodes and to tighten your passcode security by storing these passcodes in a safe place.

Examples of default passwords are the following:

• 12345
• Admin
• User
• [email protected]

What is a strong password?

A strong passcode is often referred to as uncrackable, untraceable and highly secure. This is because it creates an air-tight barrier between your devices or data and unauthorized third-party access. A strong passcode has the following characteristics:

• It has the right length: most secure passwords have ten or more characters. The longer the password, the less likely it can be cracked.
• It uses a mixture of characters. A strong password is complex in that it uses different characters such as symbols, letters, and numbers. This makes it highly difficult to figure out.
• A strong passcode is random. It is more like code rather than a familiar phrase. It does not use material facts or details that can be linked back to the password owner. 

Creating a strong and unique passcode for each of your accounts can be a very tedious process that requires a lot of creativity. Furthermore, creating a highly complicated passcode even if it is secure can increase the possibility of forgetting it and having to reset it each time. To solve these two problems, you need to get a good password manager that will do all the hard work for you.

Security Dashboard

This is a vulnerability check feature that Passwarden gives you. This feature checks the strength of your passcodes for you. It also informs you if you have any passcodes that are compromised or reused.

Duress mode

This feature gives you the freedom to withhold some of the information you deem highly private. It allows you to hide Passwarden Vaults that hold your more private and sensitive information. This will protect your passwords and data even if you ever get forced to open Passwarden under duress.
