World Password Day 2025

At Getronics we believe that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, and it all starts with a strong password. For World Password Day 2025, we’re joining the global movement to raise awareness about the importance of secure credentials in a world where digital threats are ever-present.

Why World Password Day matters

Held on the first Thursday of May each year, World Password Day is a reminder that our passwords are the first line of defense against cybercriminals. Whether it’s your email, your cloud storage, or your banking app, weak passwords are an open invitation to digital intruders.

According to recent studies, over 80% of data breaches are linked to stolen or compromised credentials. Yet, people still use passwords like “123456” or “password” every day. That’s why we’re on a mission to change password habits.

Our commitment to cybersecurity

As an IT services provider, we help businesses of all sizes build and maintain secure, resilient systems. Here’s how we’re contributing to better password hygiene in 2025:

• Password audits & policy updates
  We help clients implement enterprise-grade password policies, think minimum complexity, expiration timelines, and password history enforcement.
• Multi-Factor authentication (MFA)
  We make MFA implementation easy. Adding a second layer of security can stop over 90% of credential-based attacks.
• Employee training & simulations
  Security is only as strong as the people behind it. Our cybersecurity training programs teach teams how to spot phishing attempts and practice safe password habits.
• Password management solutions
  Struggling to remember 30+ passwords? We help clients deploy secure password managers that simplify and strengthen login practices.

5 Quick tips to strengthen your password game

Want to take your personal or business password security up a notch? Start here:

1. Use long, complex passwords – Aim for 12+ characters using a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
2. Avoid personal information – Don’t use names, birthdays, or favourite bands.
3. Never reuse passwords – Each account should have its own unique password.
4. Enable MFA wherever possible – Always add an extra layer of security.
5. Use a password manager – Ditch the sticky notes and spreadsheets.
