Passwords

In today’s world, password security is more important than ever, especially for farmers who may store sensitive information about their farm online, or who use automated smart equipment.

Passwords act as the first layer of defence against unauthorised access to your accounts, protecting you from financial loss, identity theft and privacy breaches. Passwords are like the gates to your farm. However, getting them right isn’t always easy, and a wrong, or weak password can be costly, both for our privacy and financially. You wouldn’t leave your farm gate unlocked or secured with a cheap and flimsy padlock; your digital accounts should be no different.

In this module, we’ll explore practical strategies to enhance password security. Whether you are a farmer managing crop data or a tech-savvy enthusiast, these password principles apply universally.
