Why Is Password Security Crucial?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

With the advancement of technology and communication, the use of digital devices in daily life has significantly increased. According to Mastercard research, individuals, on average, possess ten digital accounts used across various devices and applications. Each day, a person enters a password approximately eight times to access their accounts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A password is one of the primary methods for maintaining <\/span>security<\/span><\/b> within the realm of information technology. Unfortunately, many users still employ easily guessable passwords, such as birthdates (25%), pet names (18%), or family names (13%). Furthermore, 84% of users only change their passwords occasionally, while only 16% consistently remember them. This habit increases the risk of hacking, potentially compromising users’ personal data and creating vulnerabilities for online crime.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Threats of Hacking and Data Breaches<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Cyberattacks on large corporations often lead to customer data breaches, including phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal information. One instance of a breach in Indonesia was the <\/span>KreditPlus<\/span> data leak in August 2020. A report from the cybersecurity firm <\/span>Cyble<\/span> revealed that approximately 890,000 <\/span>KreditPlus<\/span> customer data records were allegedly leaked and sold on the hacking forum <\/span>Raidforums<\/span>. The leaked data included names, emails, passwords, home addresses, phone numbers, employment details, and even family card (KK) information. Additionally, <\/span><\/span>password security<\/span><\/span> can be compromised when users access public networks without <\/span>additional<\/span> protection.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Best Practices in Maintaining Password Security<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

ISO\/IEC 27001:2013 Annex 9.4.3 governs how secure <\/span><\/span>password management<\/span><\/span> should be implemented to protect sensitive data. Here are some essential steps in managing <\/span><\/span>password security<\/span><\/span>:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
