How Do We Manage Our Passwords?

As our lives move increasingly online, it can seem like everything is password-protected. How do we choose good passwords? And how do we keep track of those passwords? Most importantly, what can we do to really keep all our data safe? On today’s episode of Fortune Favors the Bold, Host Ashley C. Ford sits down with Eric Mennell, a podcast producer who understands why we need passwords in today’s digital age but can’t ever seem to remember his passwords and ultimately wants a better, smarter and more seamless way to protect his professional and personal information. Ashley turns to cybersecurity experts Rebecca Leddingham and Cormac Hurley to find solutions that will help Eric and so many people like him. They’ll discuss different strategies for keeping our accounts safe, how companies can be responsible for protecting their clients’ data, and imagine a world in which biometrics might make passwords a thing of the past.
