Stolen and reused passwords remain one of the most common causes of security incidents. For small teams, two tools address most of the risk.
Password Managers
A business password manager lets each person use long, unique passwords without having to remember them.
- Shared vaults for team accounts, with access removed instantly when someone leaves
- Strong password generation
- Alerts for weak or reused passwords
- An end to passwords in spreadsheets and sticky notes
Multifactor Authentication
MFA adds a second check, such as an authenticator app, security key or passkey, when signing in.
- Enable it on email first, then on finance, admin and cloud services
- Prefer authenticator apps or passkeys over text messages where possible
- Train staff never to approve a sign in they did not start
Rollout Tips
- Start with administrators and finance.
- Provide a short guide and support during setup.
- Keep recovery procedures documented for lost phones.
