  13. StrongPasswordPolicies Requirepasswordstobeatleast12characterslong,combiningupperand lowercaseletters,numbers,andsymbols. Avoidusingcommonwords,personalinformation,orreusingpasswords acrossmultipleaccounts. Enforceregularpasswordchanges(every60-90days). Implementpasswordmanagersforsecurestorageandgenerationof strong,uniquepasswords.

  14. Multi-FactorAuthentication(MFA) Addsanextralayerofprotectionbeyondsimplepasswords. Requiresuserstoprovidemultiplepiecesofevidencetoverifytheir identity,suchas: Somethingtheyknow(password) Somethingtheyhave(e.g.,asmartphone,securitytoken) Somethingtheyare(e.g.,fingerprint,facialrecognition) Significantlyreducestheriskofunauthorizedaccess,evenifpasswords arecompromised.
