Secure passwords
The use of passwords may eventually become obsolete thanks to biometric data. However, for now, our system is based on passwords that must be robust. We must bear in mind that there are keyloggers, i.e., computer applications that extract the keys we have entered, a system that criminals take advantage of.
We can put layers of security thanks to the two-factor authentication (2FA), which is achieved, for example, thanks to a key generator that we can have in the cell phone so that the user has to enter another factor to authenticate beyond their username or account. Since it is necessary to have strong passwords, changing them from time to time is helpful. There are reliable password managers such as Dashlane, KeePass, Google Chrome Passwords, Dropbox Password Manager, etc. for saving passwords.
The consequences of cybercriminals knowing your password are that your accounts and linked services may be accessed, accounts may be synced, or third-party data accessed and downloaded for use in the future.
