How to correctly choose your passwords ?

Here are some tips on how to manage your passwords safely.

A security breach in your company's passwords can have very serious consequences. Cleaq recommends that you should not use the same passwords for different applications.

Do not write them down on a post-it note on your desk or in your notebook. You can, however, keep clues at home, in a vault or on a secure key. Also, don't use unencrypted tools like Slack, Google Word... to store your company's passwords.

You can also use a password manager (Dashlane, OnePassword, Lastpass...) that will allow you to store multiple passwords and access them using a master passwords. 

How to choose a good password?

First of all, a good password generally has 12 characters including : 

• lower case
• upper case letters
• numbers
• special characters

A little tip for creating a password, memorize a sentence (passphrase) and use the first letter of each word to create a password.

For example: In 2019, I went skiing in Val Thorens = E2,jsAfdsdlsVT 

You are free to choose which letters will be capitalized
