Should I reset my passwords?

How to Create and Manage Strong Passwords asks the question, 'is it time to rethink your passwords?' Passwords keep your money, memories, ideas, and projects safe. Now, more than ever, individuals and companies need to protect their data with impenetrable passwords. Cybercriminals can fetch a tidy sum selling stolen passwords and login credentials via the dark web. But not all passwords are created equal: Weak passwords put you at risk for fraud and identity theft. Even strong passwords may not hold up to the relentless, rapid-fire guessing capabilities of hacking programs designed to crack thousands of passwords per second.
