How do passwords help protect confidentiality?
One of the easiest and most effective access control methods is the use of passwords. Although passwords are a convenient way of protecting system access, users often defeat the security measures by carelessness or improper use. It is therefore necessary for all system users to strengthen passwords and ensure their confidentiality at all times. Keep your password safe as you would the key to your house. Your password is what stands between an intruder and your data.
