Build Stronger Passwords and Keep Hackers Locked Out

Weak, predictable passwords are still one of the leading causes of data breaches. The Passwords That Pack a Punch reference guide is a 1-page digital or printable resource that gives employees, students, and families an easy-to-follow reminder of password best practices. Highlighting the pitfalls of common choices—like logical number patterns, keyboard sequences, or predictable words such as “secret” or “dragon”—this guide shows just how easily hackers can gain access to sensitive accounts.

It also reinforces proven strategies, including creating longer, unique passwords for every login, enabling biometric logins like fingerprint or face scans, and avoiding reused credentials across accounts. With over a billion passwords stolen last year alone, this resource is an essential reminder that strong passwords are the frontline of cybersecurity defense.

Every version can be custom-branded with your organization’s logo for a professional, trusted training asset.
