The Race to Replace Your Password Article

Passwords are required for almost everything and having a good one is important. Many people don't realize that making it so easy so that its easy to remember just makes it easy for other people to hack or access. Even I have been guilty of using easy passwords or using the same password for multiple websites because it's easier. With technology changing constantly it's important that you keep up with new information about security and passwords. I have noticed many sites actually require you to use at least 1 capital letter, 1 lower case letter, a number and some type of symbol to make your password better and give you a better shot at staying protected and keeping people out of your accounts. There was a great article called "The Race to Replace Your Password" on linkedin that you should check out. It also talks a little about biometrics and other types of security that could be part of the password future. Personally I would love some sort of fingerprint or iris scanner or something to protect my devices against other people accessing it and hopefully I will have that someday. In the meantime check out this the article here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/race-replace-your-password-daniel-burrus?trk=mp-reader-card #BurrusBlog
