When you Forget your Password: A Cybermaniacs Reminder

We have a hot new blog post up all about strong passwords: thecybermaniacs.com/cm-blog/p...
Is it good to be able to remember your password? #shorts
Creating a good password is hard. Remembering it is even more difficult. Having different passwords for each and every application and website, in a world where the average person has more than 100-is a nearly impossible task. This results in frustrating and frequent password resets. While that process is mostly secure, the help desk costs for fielding those tasks as well as the increased attack surface area created by having so many password resets mean that better solutions are required.
Here are several ways that cybersecurity leaders are trying to help the people and organizations they protect, and what individuals can do to help:
Password managers. Although there have been breaches, even the native capabilities within browsers such as Google Chrome have proven to better protect user identities. One password, a master password, is used for the password manager.
Password generators. Password managers will often create a randomized, strong secure password for you.
Passwordless Authentication. This can be done with certificates, security tokens, one-time passwords (OTPs), or biometrics. They use some combination of knowledge factors, possession factors, or inherence factors
