Last week at a coffee event, our host spoke at length about the growing amount of fraud and breached accounts on social media. If you’ve been on Facebook anytime in the past month you’ve no doubt seen a fake account from someone you know. Fake phishing accounts are even starting to pop up on LinkedIn.
Phishing and social media fraud are they’re a major source of security breaches in the US. Aside from the embarrassment of having a social media account compromised for your business, there’s additional exposure if you used the same password elsewhere.
At Salt Peak we use 1Password to manage passwords. It stores and secures a unique password to every service, so Meg and each team member only has to remember one really strong password while having over a hundred unique passwords. So if Meg’s personal Facebook is ever compromised, our client data and banking won’t, because the passwords are completely different.
1Password is available as an individual license for $36 a year and business plans are available for you to secure the teammates in your organization. Contact us today and we’ll help you quote and plan a password management deployment in your business.
So this new year, let’s add strong passwords to your 2025 goals. New year, new you, new passwords!
