World Password Day 2025

SAPOL is supporting World Password Day this year by stirring up something special with a short video on how to create a passphrase.

World Password Day is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of password security and promoting good password practices to enhance your online security.

So, if your password is ‘Pa55w0rd’, or something just as predictable, why not change it up and check out our video on how to cook up a strong and unique passphrase.

Check out the below tips to help keep you safe online:

• Consider changing your password to a passphrase. They are longer and use multiple words, making them easier to remember and more difficult to crack than traditional passwords.
• Set up multi-factor authentication.
• Never click links in emails or messages.
• If you don’t trust a message, block the number and delete it.
• Make sure your antivirus software and operating systems are up to date.
