Course Breakdown

The five lessons build on each other: first why passwords fail, then how to make better ones, and finally the tools that make good habits easy to keep.

  1. How passwords get cracked

    Guessing attacks, cracking software and reuse of leaked credentials.

  2. Passphrases that work

    Why length outperforms clever character swaps.

  3. The reuse problem

    Keeping one breach from unlocking every other account.

  4. Password managers

    Getting started, daily use and guarding the master passphrase.

  5. Multi-factor authentication

    Choosing an MFA method and turning it on correctly.

Recommended For

Anyone who logs in to company email, payroll, scheduling or vendor portals benefits, and people with administrator access benefit most.

  • All employees with logins
  • Payroll and finance staff
  • Managers with admin access
  • Crews sharing field devices

On completion

Learners pass a final quiz and receive a certificate of completion. Your company's own password policy still sets the rules employees must follow.

Habits Built

  • Create a long, memorable passphrase

  • Use a different credential for every account

  • Store passwords in a manager, not a notebook

  • Enable MFA on email and financial accounts
