<h3>Verification methods for identity confirmation</h3>
<p>To verify your identity securely on Apple, you can use trusted devices such as your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch.</p>
<p>On these devices, you can receive and confirm Apple ID notifications.</p>
<p>If you have <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/102606" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">two-factor authentication enabled</a>, you can verify your identity by:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Entering your Apple ID password</li>
    <li>Receiving a six-digit verification code on a trusted device</li>
    <li>Entering the verification code to confirm your identity</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also add phone numbers to your Apple ID to receive verification codes via SMS text messages and automated phone calls.</p>
<p>For some older accounts, you may be able to use security questions for verification. However, <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/102660" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">two-factor authentication is recommended</a> if you have iOS 9 or later or Mac with OS X El Capitan or later.</p>
<p>The Apple Support App can also generate a <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT202650" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">temporary support PIN</a> on your device, which you can use to verify your identity when interacting with Apple support.</p>

Forgot Your Apple ID Password? Here's How to Reset It

<h2>Why Using Common Passwords is Risky</h2>
<h3>Explaining the concept of common passwords</h3>
<p>Yes, we humans are creatures of habit. When faced with time constraints and <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/do-you-have-decision-fatigue/ar-AA1u0FI3?ocid=BingNewsSerp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">decision fatigue</a> (experts say the average person makes 35,000+ decisions a day), our ability to make optimal choices diminishes, and we fall back on routine.</p>
<p>But why routine?</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/prospect-theory.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fear of loss</a> (rather than the prospect of gain) drives our most innate behaviors. In our fast-paced world, we fear the loss of time, speed, and ease. Thus, we&rsquo;re invested in believing our passwords are &ldquo;good enough&rdquo; and that there&rsquo;s minimal risk in using them.</p>
<p>This is why the most popular passwords -- are also the most commonly used passwords.</p>
<h3>The implications of using common passwords</h3>
<p>People make decisions based on their <a href="https://www.simplypsychology.org/availability-heuristic.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">available experience</a>. If they&rsquo;ve never been hacked, the prospect of harm stemming from their password habits seems overblown.</p>
<p>So, even though weak passwords are a liability, the time and effort associated with password management feels like a greater loss.</p>
<p>Cybercriminals exploit this complacence to perpetrate increasingly <a href="https://thehackernews.com/2024/10/how-hybrid-password-attacks-work-and.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">sophisticated hybrid credential attacks</a> worldwide. These hybrid attacks combine dictionary and brute-force techniques to gain access to your personal data. In all, <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2023/02/new-ftc-data-show-consumers-reported-losing-nearly-88-billion-scams-2022" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cybercrime costs consumers</a> upwards of $8.8 billion annually.</p>
<h2>How Hackers Exploit Common Passwords</h2>
<h3>Methods used by hackers to guess common passwords</h3>
<p>Besides hybrid password attacks, hackers also employ these methods to guess common passwords:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Social engineering attacks: </strong>These techniques exploit human psychology and behavior. According to Christopher Hadnagy&rsquo;s <em>Social Engineering: The Science of Human Hacking</em>, &ldquo;the goal of the social engineer is to get you to make a decision without thinking. The more you think, the more likely you are to realize you are being manipulated.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;">Hadnagy contends that OSINT (open-source intelligence) is the lifeblood of every social engineering attack. With 4.48 billion indexed websites, hackers can possibly gather enough intelligence about you to crack your passwords (especially if they consist of the most common words).</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Hashcat mask attacks:</strong> This type of attack is an advanced version of a brute-force attack. Instead of trying every possible combination of characters, a <a href="https://infosecscout.com/use-mask-attack-with-hashcat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">masked attack</a> uses placeholders to represent suspected known elements of a password.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;">A common password format is pairing a name with a birth year, such as &ldquo;matt1986.&rdquo; That&rsquo;s four lower-case letters (the mask for lower-case is <strong>?l</strong>) and four numbers (the mask for numbers is <strong>?d</strong>). So, we&rsquo;re looking at <strong>?l?l?l?l?d?d?d?d</strong>. Hashcat generates all possible combinations <a href="https://in.security/2022/06/20/hashcat-pssw0rd-cracking-brute-force-mask-hybrid/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">matching that mask</a>. Each generated password is then hashed and compared against the target hash.</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Rainbow table attacks: </strong>In a <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/rainbow-table-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rainbow table attack</a>, hackers compare stolen hashes to precomputed ones. For each match, they reconstruct the process that led to the match. This process allows them to uncover the original plaintext passwords associated with the stolen hashes.</li>
    <li><strong>Rule-based attacks:</strong> In a <a href="https://debugpointer.com/security/rule-based-attack" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rule-based attack</a>, hackers use rule sets to guess passwords. First, they compile a wordlist. Then, they use a specialized tool like Hashcat to apply rule sets (transformation rules) to base words. For example, a rule may have to do with symbol substitution or replacing letters with similar-looking symbols, such as transforming &ldquo;password&rdquo; into &ldquo;pa$$w0rd.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
<h3>Real-life examples of data breaches due to weak passwords</h3>
<p>Three major password-related breaches occurred by mid 2024:</p>
<ul>
    <li>In January, the <a href="https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/mother-of-all-breaches-data-leak-pulls-together-26-billion-records-from-thousands-of-prior-breaches/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">MOAB</a> saw the release of a monster &ldquo;combo file&rdquo; of more than 26 billion records. Many of the records were from previous breaches. A wide range of data, aside from passwords, was included in the file.</li>
    <li>The <a href="https://www.npr.org/2024/03/30/1241863710/att-data-breach-dark-web" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AT&amp;T breach in March</a> involved 70+ million current and former customers. Compromised information included Social Security numbers, email &amp; mailing addresses, birthdates, and passcodes. Hackers were able to <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/at-t-ticketmaster-data-breach-hackers-charged-with-stealing-50-billion-records/ar-AA1u0eZ2?ocid=BingNewsSerp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">extort affected customers</a>, obtaining payments amounting to 36 bitcoins (worth $2.5 million at the time). Meanwhile, a <a href="https://www.techtarget.com/whatis/feature/ATT-data-breach-Whats-next-for-affected-customers" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">second breach in July</a> affected nearly all AT&amp;T customers.</li>
    <li><a href="https://www.webopedia.com/technology/rockyou2024-data-leak-explained/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RockYou2024</a> is currently the world&rsquo;s largest password-related breach at nearly 10 billion passwords compromised. Overall, the <a href="https://www.cpomagazine.com/cyber-security/rockyou2024-password-leak-tops-previous-record-with-nearly-10-billion-plaintext-credentials/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">massive compilation</a> constitutes breach data spanning two decades.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 30px;">Cybercriminals rely on leaked passwords to carry out <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/credential-stuffing" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">credential stuffing attacks</a>, such as the one against Snowflake, which resulted in <a href="https://mashable.com/article/hackers-snowflake-att-ticketmaster-data-breach-indicted" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">breaches at organizations using the platform</a> (AT&amp;T, Ticketmaster, and more than 150 other corporations).</p>

<h2>Best Practices for Creating Strong Passwords</h2>
<h3>The #1 tip for creating unique, complex passwords</h3>
<p>With the explosion of Big Data environments, the <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0306457323002194" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">resulting cognitive overload</a> has led to rising levels of worry, tension, and anxiety across the world.</p>
<p>This authentication fatigue fuels password reuse and in turn, account takeovers: in a recent <a href="https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/american-password-habits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Forbes Advisor study</a>, 30% of respondents believe their accounts were compromised due to using the same credentials across multiple platforms.</p>
<p>Creating unique, complex passwords need not become a cognitive burden. You can create strong passwords easily and quickly with our <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">password generator</a>.</p>
<p>According to the same study, 75% of respondents have had personal data stolen from hacked accounts, but only 18% use generated passwords.</p>
<p>Our free password generator can easily create complex, unpredictable passwords that are extremely difficult for attackers to guess &ndash; and it takes only a few minutes to use.</p>
<h3>Two-factor authentication and its role in password security</h3>
<p>Two-factor or multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring another factor for authentication. So, even if an attacker manages to obtain your password, they can&rsquo;t access your accounts without the second factor.</p>
<h2>Educating Others About the Risks</h2>
<h3>How to raise awareness about common password dangers</h3>
<p>One way to raise awareness about common password dangers is through security awareness training:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Organizations with <a href="https://keepnetlabs.com/blog/2024-security-awareness-training-statistics" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">consistent awareness training programs</a> enjoy a 70% reduction in security-related risks.</li>
    <li>Investment in these programs results in 3X ROI for the organizations.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Teaching children and seniors about password security</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.ofcom.org.uk/media-use-and-attitudes/media-habits-children/a-window-into-young-childrens-online-worlds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Young children</a> are increasing their digital footprint as we head into 2030:</p>
<ul>
    <li>24% now own smartphones, while 76% use tablets regularly.</li>
    <li>They&rsquo;re on WhatsApp (37%), TikTok (30%), and Instagram (22%).</li>
    <li>48% even have personal profiles on YouTube.</li>
</ul>
<p>Our youngest users are also chatting on Skype and sharing pictures on Facebook. Their <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/fact-sheet/teens-and-social-media-fact-sheet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">older teen siblings</a> are equally engaged, with many admitting they&rsquo;re on Snapchat, YouTube, and TikTok almost constantly.</p>
<p>With families increasingly separated by physical distance, social media and video call platforms have become indispensable in strengthening generational bonds.</p>
<p>Yet, this increased activity -- coupled with the use of weak passwords -- is putting everyone at risk for credential-based attacks, scams, and identity theft. Using age-appropriate tools to teach children, teens, and seniors about password security is critical to their digital safety.</p>
<p>During a <a href="https://www.ssoar.info/ssoar/bitstream/handle/document/83031/ssoar-2022-kotilainen-Methods_in_practice_Studying_children.pdf?sequence=5" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">2022 EU research project</a>, researchers successfully used playful techniques to raise awareness about online security among young children. Using <a href="https://www.jetlearn.com/blog/teaching-kids-password-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">role-playing exercises</a> and <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">online tools</a> to test the strength of different passwords can also be particularly effective when educating young children and teens.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, older adults may benefit from <a href="https://www.comparitech.com/blog/information-security/cyber-awareness-courses-older-adults/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">free cyber safety courses</a> they can complete on their own time.</p>

<h2>Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Your Gmail Password</h2>
<h3>Accessing your Gmail account settings</h3>
<p>Many people stay signed in to their Gmail accounts for convenience.</p>
<p>In the US alone, we spend <a href="https://financesonline.com/email-statistics/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">five hours a day checking emails</a> &ndash; that's 209 minutes (3+ hours/day) checking work emails and 143 minutes (2+ hours) checking personal emails.</p>
<p>However, this habit of staying logged in increases your risk of session hijacking exploits, <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/defender-cloud-apps/investigate-risky-oauth" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">OAuth-based phishing</a>, and account takeovers (if you stay logged in across devices).</p>
<p>So, what does signing out of all browsers do? It basically revokes your current session and stops continued, unauthorized access to your data.</p>

<p>Under &ldquo;Change account settings,&rdquo; click &ldquo;Change password.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This will take you to a new screen, where you&rsquo;ll type in your new password twice before clicking the &ldquo;Change password&rdquo; button.</p>
<p>You can also click on your profile picture and then &ldquo;Manage your Google Account.&rdquo; On the next screen, click on &ldquo;Security&rdquo; in the left-hand menu and then scroll down to the section &ldquo;How you sign into Google.&rdquo; Finally, click on &ldquo;Password&rdquo; to make your changes.</p>
<h3>Creating a strong and unique password</h3>
<p>What makes a strong password?</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-3/sp800-63b.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NIST</a>, it should be length. Ideally, your password should be <a href="https://securityboulevard.com/2024/09/2024-nist-password-guidelines-enhancing-security-practices/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">between 12-16 characters.</a></p>
<p>NIST also supports the use of <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/passphrase-vs-password" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">passphrases,</a> <a href="https://www.darkreading.com/identity-access-management-security/nist-drops-password-complexity-mandatory-reset-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ASCII characters, and Unicode,</a> which allows users to leverage their native languages or cultural symbols to create memorable, secure passwords. The use of non-Latin scripts, emojis, and accented characters makes passwords more resistant to credential-based attacks.</p>
<p>Need a little help? Use a <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">password generator</a> to make the password creation process easier and faster.</p>

<h2>How to Reset a Gmail Password you Forgot</h2>
<h3>Visit Gmail recovery page</h3>
<p>So, you need to <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/304996/how-to-recover-your-forgotten-gmail-password/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">change your Gmail password</a> &ndash; but you&rsquo;ve forgotten your current one.</p>
<p>No problem: Head to the <a href="https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/recoveryidentifier?flowName=GlifWebSignIn&amp;dsh=S-870374819%3A1729187682460956&amp;ddm=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google Recovery page</a> and enter your email address to begin the process.</p>
<p>Then, click &ldquo;Next.&rdquo;</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ll be asked to use biometrics or another method like passkeys to verify your identity. If you haven&rsquo;t set these up, click on &ldquo;Try another way.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In the next screen, you&rsquo;ll be asked to type in your current password. Don&rsquo;t remember it? Click on &ldquo;Try another way.&rdquo;</p>
<p>If you provided a phone number or recovery email in the &ldquo;Security&rdquo; settings, choose one of them to get a verification code. You&rsquo;ll use the code to gain access to your account and create a new password.</p>
<h3>Find Forgot Your Password</h3>
<p>Another method to access your account if you forgot your Gmail password is to follow the normal steps you&rsquo;d take to sign in to your account.</p>
<p>After entering your email address in the login page, click on the blue &ldquo;Forgot password?&rdquo; link. If you&rsquo;ve set up a phone number or secondary email, you&rsquo;ll choose one of them to receive a verification code. This code allows you to access your account and create a new (stronger) password.</p>
<h3>Why Change Your Gmail Password?</h3>
<p>Regular password updates not advised: What to do instead</p>
<p>Based on <a href="https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NIST&rsquo;s latest recommendations</a>, the traditional advice for regular password changes has evolved. Here are the main takeaways:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Password changes should only be enforced after a known security incident or breach.</li>
    <li>The current focus is strong passwords based on length, rather than frequent resets.</li>
    <li>Security questions (<a href="https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/nist-scraps-passwords-mandatory/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">knowledge-based authentication</a>) should be avoided altogether, as they&rsquo;re often accompanied by answers that are easily guessed or discovered by attackers through social engineering efforts. Security questions can also be a double-edged sword: users often forget the answers, which leads to account lockouts and frustration.</li>
    <li>MFA (multi-factor authentication) is now strongly recommended by NIST, along with the use of password managers.</li>
    <li>Passwords should be regularly monitored and compared against a &ldquo;blocklist that contains known commonly used, expected, or compromised passwords.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
<h3>Protecting your personal information</h3>
<p>Is Aunt Sally getting married and sharing her super-secret guest list with only a small circle of trusted confidants?</p>
<p>If she has Gmail, she can send <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7674059?sjid=5413259599942072306-NA" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">messages in confidential mode</a> to you or anyone else in the bridal party. With this mode enabled, recipients won&rsquo;t be able to copy, forward, download, or print emails.</p>
<p>Here's how it&rsquo;s done:</p>
<ul>
    <li>First, have Aunt Sally sign in to Gmail and then click on &ldquo;Compose.&rdquo;</li>
    <li>At the bottom of the email box, tell Aunt Sally to look for a lock icon, which should read &ldquo;Toggle confidential mode&rdquo; when she hovers over it.</li>
    <li>A separate box will pop up, which allows her to set an expiration date for the email.</li>
    <li>Next, she&rsquo;ll choose either &ldquo;No SMS passcode&rdquo; or &ldquo;SMS passcode.&rdquo;</li>
    <li>If Aunt Sally chooses "No SMS passcode," recipients using the Gmail app will be able to read her emails directly. Recipients who don't use Gmail will be emailed a passcode.</li>
    <li>If Aunt Sally chooses "SMS passcode," recipients will be sent a passcode by text. Be sure she enters your phone number, rather than her own.</li>
    <li>Click &ldquo;Save.&rdquo;</li>
</ul>
<p>But what if Uncle Silas keeps missing tuxedo fittings and pre-wedding family rituals? Plus, he keeps poking fun at them on his Facebook page. Furious Aunt Sally can then open any sent confidential emails and click on &ldquo;Remove Access.&rdquo; This will stop Uncle Silas from accessing the contents of the emails, even before their expiration dates.</p>
<h3>Preventing unauthorized access to your Gmail account</h3>
<p>After revoking session cookies, changing your password prevents the attacker from modifying your current login credentials and locking you out completely.</p>
<p>However, not all attackers choose this approach. They may decide that monitoring you long-term will yield greater benefits. So, it&rsquo;s important to take appropriate steps to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2023/11/26/gmail-hackers-leave-vital-clues-behind-check-these-3-things-now/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">stop this type of unwanted, continuous surveillance:</a></p>
<ul>
    <li>Check for account activity by scrolling down to the bottom of the page and clicking &ldquo;Details&rdquo; under &ldquo;Last account activity.&rdquo; You&rsquo;ll see login dates and times plus devices and IP addresses used to access your account.</li>
    <li>In &ldquo;Settings,&rdquo; click on &ldquo;Forwarding and POP/IMAP&rdquo; to check if there are any addresses incoming mail is being forwarded to.</li>
    <li>Use <a href="https://myaccount.google.com/intro/security-checkup" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Google&rsquo;s Security Checkup</a> feature to check for security events, secure your devices, and add extra protections like two-factor verification.</li>

<h2>Tips for Keeping Your Gmail Account Secure</h2>
<h3>Enabling two-factor authentication</h3>
<p>Is Gmail safe? According to Google, yes. In February 2024, the tech giant rolled out new <a href="https://support.google.com/a/answer/14289100?sjid=5110198983405582030-NA&amp;visit_id=638647032062971229-3874598712&amp;rd=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">bulk sender email delivery</a> requirements. This led to a 65% <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/10/08/google-confirms-new-gmail-security--boost-for-25-billion-users/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">reduction in unauthenticated emails</a> sent to Gmail users and 265 billion fewer unauthenticated messages sent worldwide.</p>
<p>Google is rightly proud of its <a href="https://safety.google/gmail/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI-enhanced spam filtering</a> capabilities &ndash; but hackers have thrown a wrench in the works. In October 2024, they targeted Gmail&rsquo;s 2.5 billion users with an <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/ai-powered-scam-targets-25-billion-gmail-users-in-sophisticated-phishing-attacks/ar-AA1snfOt?ocid=BingNewsSerp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">AI-powered scam</a> so compelling, it made a Microsoft Solutions consultant doubt his own senses.</p>
<p>One way to keep your account secure is by <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/185839?hl=en&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">enabling two-factor authentication</a>. Here&rsquo;s how you can do this while signed into your account:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Click on your profile (or circular image) in the top right corner of the page and then click on the &ldquo;Manage your Google Account&rdquo; button.</li>
    <li>On the left menu, click on &ldquo;Security.&rdquo;</li>
    <li>Scroll down and click &ldquo;2-Step Verification&rdquo; to begin the process.</li>
    <li>You&rsquo;ll be prompted to enter your password to verify your identity.</li>
    <li>Next, select how you want to receive your second factor for authentication, such as a Google prompt, codes from the Google Authenticator app, SMS messages or calls from your mobile device, or passkeys.</li>
    <li>After you select your preferred method, you&rsquo;ll also be given the option of adding backup methods, such as a security key or secondary mobile device number.</li>
    <li>Once you complete all the steps, click &ldquo;Turn on&rdquo; to enable 2-step verification.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Regularly reviewing account activity</h3>
<p>Regular activity monitoring can uncover logins from mysterious or unfamiliar locations and devices.</p>
<p>To <a href="https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/7028918?hl=en&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop#zippy=%2Chow-does-my-google-activity-work%2Cwhy-is-there-unfamiliar-activity-in-my-activity" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">see your Gmail account activity</a>, click on your profile picture or icon at the top right corner of the page. Next, click on &ldquo;Manage your Google Account&rdquo; and then &ldquo;Data and Privacy&rdquo; in the left menu.</p>
<p>Under &ldquo;History&rdquo; settings, click &ldquo;My Activity.&rdquo; Here, you can monitor your web activity and YouTube history. You can also enable &ldquo;Manage my Activity Verification.&rdquo; This allows Google to verify your identity before you can see or delete your full history on &ldquo;My Activity.&rdquo;</p>
<p>This security feature is useful if you&rsquo;re using Gmail on shared devices.</p>
<h3>Avoiding suspicious emails and links</h3>
<p>Attackers are increasingly using email as a vehicle for planting keylogging malware on unsuspecting users. For example, the <a href="https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/05/snakekeylogger_malware_windows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">infostealer SnakeKeylogger</a> records every keystroke you make &ndash; when you click on infected Office documents or PDFs in an email.</p>
<p>While Google&rsquo;s AI-based spam filters and <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2024/02/08/gmail-messages-blocked-as-google-dmarc-email-security-policy-enforced/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">new bulk sender requirements</a> are powerful deterrents against phishing emails, vigilance and a multi-layered security approach are essential weapons against dynamic, emerging threats.</p>

<h2>Reset Your Hulu Password - Step-by-Step Guide </h2>
<h3>Accessing the Hulu password reset page </h3>
<p><strong>If you&rsquo;ve forgotten your password: </strong></p>
<p>Use Hulu&rsquo;s &ldquo;Forgot Password&rdquo; tool.&nbsp;</p>
<p>On the page, you&rsquo;ll see the words &ldquo;Trouble Accessing Your Account?&rdquo; in large letters.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Be sure to enter your email address before clicking on the &ldquo;Send Me a Reset Link&rdquo; button.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Then, head to your email inbox to check for a &ldquo;Reset Your Password&rdquo; email from Hulu. Note that it may take up to 15 minutes to receive the email. Be sure to check your spam folder if you don&rsquo;t see the email after 15 minutes. If you find the email in spam, mark the email as &ldquo;Not Spam&rdquo; and update your address book accordingly.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Once you click on the &ldquo;Reset Password&rdquo;&nbsp;<a href="https://help.hulu.com/article/hulu-reset-password" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">link in the email</a>, you&rsquo;ll be taken to a page with the words &ldquo;Create a New Password&rdquo; in bold. Enter your new password twice and then tap &ldquo;Submit.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Note that the reset link will expire after just three (3) hours, so you&rsquo;ll want to complete the reset within that time frame.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>If you know your password: </strong></p>
<p>Sign in to your account. Once there, look for the &ldquo;Your Account&rdquo; section and select &ldquo;Change Password.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next, head to your email inbox to check for an email with the subject line &ldquo;Verify Your Identity to Complete Your Account Update.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p>To verify your email address, enter your 6-digit verification code. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Then, you&rsquo;ll enter your current password and new password before clicking Save Changes.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Verifying your account and authentication methods </h3>
<p>If you&rsquo;d like to&nbsp;<a href="http://htttps//help.hulu.com/article/hulu-manage-profiles" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">access Hulu</a>, you have several authentication methods available to you:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Your email and password.</strong> All members of your household can access Hulu with one email and password. However, note that <a href="https://variety.com/2024/digital/news/hulu-password-sharing-crackdown-terminate-violators-1235894141/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">password sharing with those outside your household</a> was discontinued for new users on Jan 25, 2024, and for existing users on March 14, 2024.</li>
    <li><strong>Other platforms: </strong>You can sign up for Hulu through Spotify, Amazon, Apple TV, or Roku.&nbsp;</li>
    <li><strong>Two-step verification.</strong> To turn on two-step verification, look for the &ldquo;Security&rdquo; section in your &ldquo;Account&rdquo; settings. Then, when you need to perform actions like updating your password or purchasing in-app offerings, Hulu will send a unique verification code to your email address (with instructions on how to proceed).&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Verification codes expire after five (5) minutes, so be sure to set aside any distractions during the verification process.&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Device activation.</strong> To add a new device to your account, download the Hulu app and log in with your email and password. Choose &ldquo;Activate on a computer.&rdquo; You&rsquo;ll see an Activation code on the next screen.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-left: 40px;">Next, head to your Account page and look for the &ldquo;Watch Hulu on Your Devices&rdquo; section. Enter the code you were given, and you should be logged in within 30 seconds. &nbsp;</p>
<h3>Resetting your password and updating it automatically in LastPass </h3>
<p>After resetting your Hulu password, be sure to log into LastPass, find the Hulu entry in your list of saved sites, and update your Hulu password.&nbsp;</p>
<p>If you&rsquo;ve enabled Autofill, click &ldquo;Launch&rdquo; on the Hulu entry in your LastPass dashboard the next time you want to log into the streaming platform. You&rsquo;ll be logged into Hulu automatically and securely. </p>

<h2>Common Issues and Solutions </h2>
<h3>Why You Might Not Receive a Hulu Password Reset Email </h3>
<p>If your email provider&rsquo;s spam filters blocked the password reset email, you won&rsquo;t see the email in your inbox.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For Outlook users, adding Hulu to a&nbsp;<a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/mail-goes-to-the-junk-folder-by-mistake-f409b58c-2617-47e2-8a97-cab612d98eff" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Safe Sender&rsquo;s list</a> ensures delivery. For instructions on other email carriers, please refer to the next section.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Checking spam folders and filters </h3>
<p><strong>Gmail:</strong> Open Gmail, click on the &ldquo;More&rdquo; section on the left-hand menu and select &ldquo;Spam.&rdquo; Search for Hulu&rsquo;s email, check the box next to it, and click on &ldquo;Not Spam.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Yahoo Mail:</strong>&nbsp;Open Yahoo Mail, select &ldquo;Spam&rdquo; from the left-hand menu. Once you find the Hulu email, mark it as &ldquo;Not Spam.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>iCloud Mail:</strong>&nbsp;Click the&nbsp;<a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/102376" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Junk folder</a> in the sidebar, select the message, and then click &ldquo;Not Junk&rdquo; at the top. You can also drag the message to the Inbox in the sidebar.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Zoho Mail:</strong>&nbsp;Go the&nbsp;<a href="https://help.zoho.com/portal/en/kb/mail/antispam/articles/what-if-i-incorrectly-mark-an-email-as-spam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spam folder</a>, click on the Hulu email, and choose the &ldquo;Mark not Spam&rdquo; feature to restore the email to your inbox.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Proton Mail: </strong>Right-click on the email in your Spam folder and select &ldquo;Move to Inbox (Not Spam)&rdquo; in the drop-down menu.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Ensuring the correct email is linked to your Hulu account </h3>
<p>If you think the wrong email is associated with your account, here&rsquo;s how to update it.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Log in to Hulu:</strong>&nbsp;Go to your profile page and select &ldquo;Account&rdquo; to see your email address on file. If you need to change your email address, you can do so here.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Unable to log into Hulu:</strong>&nbsp;If you don&rsquo;t remember the email you used, click on the &ldquo;Forgot your email or password?&rdquo; option to start the recovery process.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Next, click on &ldquo;I don&rsquo;t remember my email address.&rdquo; This will direct you to a form, where you&rsquo;ll be asked for additional information to confirm your membership:&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
    <li>The last four digits of the credit card linked to your account</li>
    <li>The&nbsp;expiration&nbsp;date of the card (month and year)</li>
    <li>Your billing zip code</li>
    <li>Your year of birth</li>
</ul>
<p>If your answers match that of Hulu&rsquo;s records, you&rsquo;ll be provided with the email address associated with your account. Alternatively, you can also start the email recovery process by heading to Hulu&rsquo;s Help Center and using the Account Recovery Tool.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Note that you&rsquo;ll have three chances to enter your information correctly.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Preventing Password Issues and Enhancing Security </h2>
<h3>Best practices for creating a strong and unique Hulu password </h3>
<p>To create a strong, unique Hulu password, we recommend following best practices from these security-focused organizations:&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>NIST:</strong>&nbsp;Prioritize&nbsp;<a href="https://pages.nist.gov/800-63-4/sp800-63b/passwords/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">length</a> (at least 15 characters) rather than complexity. NIST is also encouraging the use of passphrases that are up to 64 characters long. The organization now says the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/larsdaniel/2024/10/02/government-experts-say-complicated-passwords-are-making-you-less-safe/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">emphasis on complexity</a> has become counterproductive, with users creating barely secure passwords like P@#ssw0rd123.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>CIS:</strong>&nbsp;Many people think using&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cisecurity.org/insights/white-papers/cis-password-policy-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">rare words from the dictionary</a> will stop cybercriminals in their tracks. However, tools like&nbsp;<a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/569355/hashcat-explained-why-you-might-need-this-password-cracker.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Hashcat</a> and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/crack-passwords-using-john-the-ripper-pentesting-tutorial/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">John the Ripper</a> allow hackers to carry out shockingly successful &ldquo;dictionary attacks&rdquo; that can severely compromise your data. To protect your Hulu account, try creating a&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/2024/10/nist-recommends-length-over-complexity" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">high entropy passphrase</a> with special characters. Start with a four-word phrase made up of unrelated elements, such as Dragon Prince Pumpkin Office. Then, add special characters to derive: Dra5g#$o7nPrin83ce*Pum%p2kinOffi5!ce&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>CISA:</strong>&nbsp;Passwords should be at least&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2024-09/Secure-Our-World-Passwords-Tip-Sheet.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">16 characters in length</a>.

How to Reset Your Hulu Password

<h2>Why Should You Change Your Spotify Password?</h2>
<h3>Importance of password security</h3>
<p>In 2020, Spotify experienced a significant <a href="https://www.itpro.com/security/357881/spotify-user-data-stolen-by-hackers-after-a-lack-of-basic-security" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">credential stuffing attack</a>. Malicious actors managed to obtain Spotify login credentials from previous hacks and use them to gain unauthorized access to <a href="https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2020/12/11/spotify-hack-reset-passwords/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">350,000 user accounts.</a></p>
<p>And in 2024, many <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tech/spotify-accounts-hacked-cyberattack-hijackers-b1152143.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify subscribers</a> woke up to hijacked playlists and compromised accounts. Many were locked out completely. For music lovers, it&rsquo;s an unsettling thought that compromised Spotify Premium accounts are big commodities on the Dark Web: yours can be acquired for as little as $1.</p>
<p>Thus, a strong and unique password is your first line of defense against such attacks.</p>
<h3>Protecting your personal information</h3>
<p>Your personal data is highly prized by hackers. Below are the top 6 types of PII they target:</p>
<ul>
    <li><strong>Login credentials:</strong> If you regularly reuse passwords across platforms, you&rsquo;re at high risk for identity theft. Once your frequently used password has been compromised, attackers can easily gain access to your Spotify account. They can then lock you out by changing your password, phone number, and email address.</li>
    <li><strong>Account type: </strong>Are you a premium subscriber? If so, hackers can use your credentials to resell your premium access on the Dark Web.</li>
    <li><strong>Payment information: </strong>If your account is hacked, your payment info can be used to commit <a href="https://www.justice.gov/criminal/criminal-fraud/identity-theft/identity-theft-and-identity-fraud" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">identity theft</a>, which can lead to unauthorized withdrawals from your bank account, fraudulent applications for credit cards, or mortgage loan approvals for homes you didn&rsquo;t purchase.</li>
    <li><strong>Listening history and playlists:</strong> This can be used to gain insight into your listening preferences so hackers can target you with ad campaigns. You may find your compromised account following <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tech/spotify-accounts-hacked-cyberattack-hijackers-b1152143.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">fake AI bands</a> you didn&rsquo;t authorize.</li>
    <li><strong>User profile:</strong> Hackers can harvest your image and bio &ndash; and pair them with false claims to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/ai-image-misinformation-surged-google-research-finds-rcna154333" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">spread misinformation online</a>. Your profile can also be used to carry out elaborate harassment campaigns against you and your family. This includes <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/02/07/world/what-is-doxxing-explainer-as-equals-intl-cmd/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">doxxing</a> and <a href="https://www.aclu.org/news/free-speech/some-steps-to-defend-against-online-doxxing-and-harassment" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">swatting</a> schemes. Already, a swatting incident has resulted in at least one death in the US.</li>
    <li><strong>Connected social media accounts:</strong> By using your stolen image and music preferences, attackers can mimic you credibly to perpetrate <a href="https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbestechcouncil/2024/01/23/deepfake-phishing-the-dangerous-new-face-of-cybercrime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">deepfake phishing attacks</a> against your circle of social media connections.</li>
</ul>
<p>Thus, securing your personal data is critical to your emotional, professional, and financial wellbeing.</p>
<h3>Preventing unauthorized access to your account</h3>
<p>Considering recent security incidents, Spotify has taken specific steps to protect your online safety:</p>
<ul>
    <li>Adding <a href="https://www.techspot.com/news/103793-spotify-adding-two-factor-authentication-normal-users.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">two-factor authentication</a> to creator or Spotify for Artist accounts</li>
    <li>Enabling you to easily <a href="https://www.noypigeeks.com/how-tos/remove-unwanted-devices-spotify/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">remove any third-party apps</a> connected to your Spotify account</li>
    <li>Enhancing logout capabilities to allow for simultaneous log outs from all devices</li>
    <li>Allowing <a href="https://robots.net/tech/how-to-remove-device-from-spotify/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">access removal for devices</a> like smartphones, computers, speakers, game consoles, and TVs</li>
</ul>
<p>However, there&rsquo;s one important way to prevent unauthorized access to your Spotify account, and it&rsquo;s something only you can do: creating a strong password that&rsquo;s computationally expensive for hackers to crack.</p>
<p>This means creating a password that requires significant time and computing resources for attackers to break through brute force efforts &ndash; a <a href="https://blog.lastpass.com/posts/2024/10/what-is-a-master-password" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">password that has high entropy</a> (randomness).</p>

<p>Use the <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LastPass generator</a> to create a secure, high entropy password.</p>

<p>Finally, remember to click &ldquo;<strong>Set New Password</strong>&rdquo; and you&rsquo;re done.</p>
<h3>How to complete a Spotify password reset</h3>
<p>If forgot your current password and need to do a password reset, go to the Spotify login page.</p>
<p>Next, click on the phrase &ldquo;Forgot your password?&rdquo; and you&rsquo;ll be sent a password reset email.</p>
<p>Head to your email inbox to check for a password reset link from Spotify.</p>
<p>Before you click on the link that says, &ldquo;Reset password,&rdquo; make sure the sender is &ldquo;<a href="mailto:no-reply@spotify.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">no-reply@spotify.com</a>.&rdquo;</p>
<p>When you get to the password reset page, use the <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LastPass generator</a> to create a high entropy password and then enter it twice in the password fields.</p>
<p>Finally, be sure to check &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not a robot&rdquo; in the reCAPTCHA box.</p>
<h3>Choosing a strong and unique password</h3>
<p>Choosing a strong, unique password is critical to securing your Spotify account from <a href="https://www.standard.co.uk/news/tech/spotify-accounts-hacked-cyberattack-hijackers-b1152143.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">credential-based attacks</a>.

<h2>Tips for Creating a Strong Spotify Display Name and Password</h2>
<h3>Using a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters</h3>
<p><strong>For display name</strong></p>
<p>Secure display names include both combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters. Spotify understands this: it&rsquo;s why your <a href="https://ifttt.com/explore/how-to-change-spotify-username" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Spotify username is assigned and consist</a> of random numbers and letters.</p>
<p>On the Spotify website, your username is permanent and can&rsquo;t be changed (unlike your display name). For ease and convenience, you don&rsquo;t need your username to log in - just your email or phone number.</p>
<p>To change your display name on Android or Apple iPhone, simply launch the Spotify mobile app. Next, tap on Home &gt; Settings &gt; View Profile.</p>
<p>Under your current display name, click the Edit Profile option. Use both uppercase and lowercase letters to create your new display name, such as StEpHAnie, EliZAbetH, MatThEw, MUsICmAVen, or SoNGbiRd.</p>
<p>Replace your current display name and then hit Save.</p>
<p><strong>For account password</strong></p>
<p>Your account password is the key element to protect, as it holds the keys to the kingdom (your Spotify account). Try creating a <a href="https://www.nist.gov/image/passwordstrengthpng" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">passphrase</a> consisting of four random words, with alternating uppercase and lowercase letters, such as pePpEr buffALo NApkin boUgAiNVillea.</p>
<p>Alternatively, you can adapt sentences from literary works, movies, or songs to devise a secure password.</p>
<p>Tip: Avoid using overly popular quotes from creative works, which are easily guessed.</p>
<h3>Incorporating numbers and special characters</h3>
<p>Numbers and special characters in passwords were <a href="https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/09/nist-proposes-barring-some-of-the-most-nonsensical-password-rules/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">prioritized by NIST</a> until recently.</p>
<p>Today, the organization recommends focusing on length, rather than complexity, to protect your account.</p>
<p>Although <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/91200084/nist-password-guidelines-2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">eight is the custom length for passwords, 15 is ideal</a> for account security. Additionally, NIST <a href="https://www.darkreading.com/identity-access-management-security/nist-drops-password-complexity-mandatory-reset-rules" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">supports passphrases</a> up to 64 characters in length.</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s the previously mentioned passphrase, with numbers and special characters added:</p>
<p>P!e85PpEr bu@ff3ALo N*A6pkin b^oUg9AiN2Villea</p>
<h3>Avoiding common or easily guessable passwords</h3>
<p>The 10 <a href="https://teampassword.com/blog/worst-passwords-2024-password-security-tips" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">worst passwords of 2024</a> are, in no particular order:</p>
<ul>
    <li>123456789</li>
    <li>Iloveyou</li>
    <li>qwerty123</li>
    <li>login</li>
    <li>superman</li>
    <li>letmein</li>
    <li>baseball</li>
    <li>princess</li>
    <li>123abc</li>
    <li>welcome</li>
</ul>
<p>Have you used any of them? If so, your account is a security risk. Poor or easily guessed passwords are short, frequently reused, consist of common words, and have low entropy.</p>
<p>To come up with a strong, secure password for your Spotify account, use a <a href="https://www.lastpass.com/features/password-generator" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Secure by Design password generator.</a></p>
