Passwords are hard to remember, and most people cannot remember more that 2 or 3, and this leads to the biggest problem with passwords – using the same one across multiple systems. By sharing your passwords with other people, this could easy lead to multiple systems being compromised through your accounts.
Here are 4 rules to ensure that your organization is engaging in safe password-sharing.
- Avoid shared passwords whenever possible.
- If employees must share passwords, make sure it’s done safely.
- Reset shared passwords whenever someone leaves the company.
- Don’t skimp on security measures for shared passwords.
Why sharing password is a bad idea?
Sharing your IPFW password is like giving out your social security number. You should never share your password or another individual’s password for the following reasons: IPFW account activity can be tracked for your account; and unethical behavior performed by someone using your account will be traced back to you.
How can I share my password?
Here’s how:
- Make sure your device is connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to share and go to Settings, Network and Internet (it might be called Connections depending on your device), then Wi-Fi.
- Tap on the cog next to your Wi-Fi network.
- Tap the Share icon on the right and you should see a QR code on the screen.
Passwords are designed to give a specific user access to a certain device, application, or website. Because they tend to protect sensitive information, passwords should be kept secret.
If a dozen people are sharing a single login, that process becomes unnecessarily complicated. Even worse, employees who have left the company could still have access to shared login credentials for everything from your customer database to the company Twitter account.
What should I do if someone is sharing my password?
Choose solutions that allow for single sign-on (SSO) whenever possible. People are less likely to share a password that’s also linked to their email account. Enable multi-factor authentication where you can.
What’s the difference between shared access signature and shared token?
A shared access signature is a signed URI that points to one or more storage resources and includes a token that contains a special set of query parameters. The token indicates how the resources may be accessed by the client.
