Authentication is the process of verifying who you are — usually with a password, but increasingly with additional methods.
Why it matters:
- Weak passwords are one of the biggest security risks.
- Strong authentication protects against unauthorized access.
- Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) adds a vital extra layer of protection.
Pro tip: Use a password manager to create and store unique, complex passwords. Never reuse the same password across multiple accounts.
