Strengthening Password Security at RGF Staffing Belgium
At RGF Staffing Belgium, we place great importance on the security of your personal data. In response to the growing threats in the field of digital security, we have decided to strengthen our password requirements. Your trust is valuable to us, and that’s why we want to inform you about the enhanced measures we are taking to protect your data.
New Password Requirements:
-
Complexity: To best secure your account, your password must include at least three of the following four elements: lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and a special character.
-
Uniqueness: Passwords found in leaked password lists cannot be used. Note: these leaked passwords do not originate from our systems. We use external databases to ensure your chosen password has not been previously exposed.
-
Renewal: Previously used passwords cannot be reused. This helps prevent password reuse and increases the security of your account.
-
Personal Data: Personal information such as your name should not be part of your password. This prevents your personal details from becoming an entry point for unwanted intrusions.
How to Protect Yourself Against Digital Theft
Online security starts with you. A strong password not only protects your own data but also contributes to a safer digital environment for everyone. These tips will make it much harder for hackers:
-
Use a strong password: combine uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
-
Choose unique passwords: never use the same password for multiple accounts or websites.
-
Avoid personal information: your name, birthdate, or simple words make your password predictable.
-
Use a passphrase: a sentence that’s easy for you to remember but hard to guess, e.g., “MyCoffeeIsTasty1!”.
-
Use a password manager: secure tools like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane help you manage strong passwords.
-
Change your password regularly: this reduces the risk of an old password being misused.
-
Be alert to phishing: don’t click on suspicious links or emails.
Together, we ensure a secure digital environment.
