Account Security Best Practices

🔒 Protecting user accounts is critical to maintaining system integrity. Follow these best practices to enhance security:

1. Strong Password Policies

• Enforce password complexity (mix of letters, numbers, symbols)
• Require regular password changes (e.g., every 90 days)
• Implement password history to prevent reuse
• Use Password_Security as a keyword for visual guidance:

2. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

• Enable MFA for all user accounts
• Use hardware tokens or mobile apps for verification
• Avoid SMS-based authentication due to vulnerability risks
• Example:

3. Account Activity Monitoring

• Track login times and locations
• Set alerts for suspicious behavior
• Regularly review access logs
• Learn more about monitoring tools at /Documentation/en/Explore/Reference/Security_Monitoring

4. Least Privilege Principle

• Grant minimal permissions required for tasks
• Regularly audit role assignments
• Avoid administrative accounts for daily use
• Example:

5. Secure Transmission Protocols

• Use HTTPS for all account-related communications
• Avoid plain text transmission of credentials
• Encrypt sensitive data at rest
• Example:

6. Regular Security Audits

• Conduct periodic vulnerability assessments
• Update software and dependencies frequently
• Test for weak passwords and exposed APIs
• Example:
