Are Your Weak Passwords Leaving Clients Vulnerable?

October 13 2015

password usernameReal estate agents are the gatekeepers of a lot of sensitive client data. While the solutions that store this data (for example, transaction and document management programs) have strict security protocols, client information is most often made vulnerable by the simplest of security missteps, like connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi networks.

However, the most common security mistake agents make is in choosing a weak password. Weak passwords are easy for criminals to guess--and once they have your password, they have access to your data. Not sure if your password qualifies as an easy mark? Check out SplashData's most recent annual list of the worst password below. If your password resembles any of the following, it's high time to change it! (We'll share tips for choosing a strong password on the next page).
