Passwords! They're incredibly important, but I find them terrible. Back in the day, when I hadn't yet passed my memory on to my children, I used to have a different password for every site. Give me 50 websites, and I\u2019d come up with 50 different strong passwords that I could actually remember!<\/p>\n

My system started to struggle when a website told me that my self-made system was no longer compatible. Suddenly, I had to remember two systems, then three, and then four... You can guess what happened: I completely lost track. I can hear you thinking, \"Why don't you use a password manager?\" Did it! And guess what... I even forgot my master password multiple times. I don\u2019t write that password down anywhere; that's probably a habit from my line of work. Nowadays, I don\u2019t even bother trying to remember all those passwords. Do I need to log in somewhere again? I just create a new password. As a commercial director and mother of two, I sometimes wonder if we\u2019re not caught up in a digital farce. There I am, preaching about cybersecurity, while I\u2019m struggling with my own passwords. Sometimes, I watch the agility of the younger generation and slowly start to feel like a dinosaur from the pre-digital age.<\/p>\n

In my work, I see the consequences of weak passwords and poor security practices every day. Clients often ask us, \"How do we ensure our employees don't get hacked?\" My constant answer: \"Start with a strong password, change it regularly, and use a password manager.\" Sounds good, right? And then I think back to myself, lying with my head on the desk because I\u2019ve forgotten my master password once again. Fortunately, I\u2019m not alone. From conversations with other parents and professionals, I know that many are in the same boat. We know that passwords are important, but not everyone uses a (personal) password manager. It's a constant struggle to keep them all up to date when you don't want to reuse the same passwords.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

But there is light at the end of the tunnel, for my generation and for the new one! Biometric authentication, like a fingerprint or facial recognition. Easy! Finally, nothing to remember anymore! By the end of my maternity leave, I got a new phone with biometric authentication capabilities. After a sleepless night, I was lying exhausted on the couch. While my oldest was at school and the baby was asleep, I decided to unpack my new phone and transfer everything from my old phone to the new one. A few photos of my face, and done. But, here\u2019s a piece of wise advice for the future: never do this when you don\u2019t look your best. The result... On days when I look fresh and wear makeup, my face isn\u2019t recognized. Long live technology and my constant struggle with my own authentication!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Wachtwoorden! Ze zijn ontzettend belangrijk, maar vindt ze ook verschrikkelijk. Vroeger, toen ik mijn geheugen nog niet aan mijn kinderen had doorgegeven, had ik overal een ander wachtwoord voor. Geef me 50 websites, en ik verzon 50 verschillende sterke wachtwoorden die ik ook nog eens kon onthouden!
