I stopped chasing “stronger passwords” years ago. Here’s Why?

Wylie E Blanchard Jr

Because attackers don’t just guess—they trick and reuse.

Here’s what actually moves the needle:

  1. MFA/passkeys on the money apps (email, payroll, finance, anything customer-facing).
  2. Password manager for everyone to end the “Summer2025!” habit.
  3. Monthly/quarterly phishing drill: one test, measure report rate, share lessons—no shaming.

Add login alerts on critical systems so strange sign-ins don’t become strange invoices.

Security works when it feels boring and repeatable. If you make these three habits default, you’ll drop a lot of risk without buying another tool.

What’s the one habit you’ll start this week—MFA/passkeys, password manager, or monthly drill?
