Security starts with passwords
Stolen passwords are the biggest threats

How hackers crack your passwords
The most common way to hack your passwords is the brute-force technique. Simply put, hackers will use a computer program to keep stuffing words until it finds the correct answers. It may take as little as a fraction of seconds to crack common passwords such as ‘iloveyou' or ‘123456'.
Why You Need A Password Health Checker
