NCSC Launches Awareness Campaign to Strengthen Password Practices

https://thecybersecurity.news/general-cyber-security-news/ncsc-launches-awareness-campaign-to-strengthen-password-practices-17608/?nowprocket=1

Excerpts:

The campaign features actionable cybersecurity advice to the community, in line with the UK government’s Cyber Aware advice. The initially of these suggests making use of passwords made up of a few random phrases, ensuring they are exclusive, potent and simpler to bear in mind. The NCSC thinks this approach is a lot more helpful than employing complicated combinations for passwords.

The other advice in the campaign is to allow two-stage verification for on-line accounts, these types of as a code texted to the account holder’s phone. This will supply an added layer of security if a password is compromised.

==================================================================
What would be really helpful to organizations and their employees are for them to use Wave VSC 2.0 so they don't have to keep dealing with passwords!! That would be simpler and more secure!!

Token-free, password-free user authentication

We know you’ve dreamt about shredding your list of passwords. Go on and do it.

Because you are starting the authentication process in the device’s hardware, the user doesn’t have to interact with it. All users see is their usual Windows log-in screen – no more additional passwords to access the VPN or other resources. They just sign in once, and the secure credentials in their TPMs securely and quickly connect them to everything they need. Say goodbye to user frustration and slow OS performance.

The user experience with a virtual smart card is simple: he or she logs in with a PIN (authentication factor number one). The TPM (authentication factor number two) then transparently identifies the device to the network and connects the user to all the approved services. It’s one less thing for users to carry around.
