What is a Brute Force Attack?
A hacker's computer tries millions of password combinations every second until one works. Short passwords like cat123 can be cracked in milliseconds!
Fact:
A 6-character password can be cracked in under a second. A 12-character password with symbols would take millions of years!
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
2FA adds a second lock to your account. Even if someone guesses your password, they can't get in without the second key (like a code sent to your phone).
Recovery Options
- Backup email address
- Phone number for SMS codes
- Recovery codes (print and keep safe)
