Security in a world of technology is of utmost importance to almost everyone. Security breaches and privacy infringements can cause a lot of damage to a person – not just the electronic device (such as computer, cell phone etc) but can also subject the person to serious issues such as identity theft.

Passwords can help protect the individual from such damage. Passwords are made up of a string of characters that people use in order to access files, personal devices and programs. A password helps to protect the device and files from being accessed by someone who is not authorized to do so.
