Here are some proactive steps you can take to protect your accounts from password brute force attacks:
- Reduce the number of wrong attempts users can make-locking their accounts after a designated number of unsuccessful attempts.
- Create longer and more complex passwords using uppercase and lowercase characters, symbols, and numbers.
- Change your passwords regularly.
- Vet and monitor 3rd party access to your accounts and data.
- Implement an MDM (Mobile Device Management) solution to secure iPhones and Androids.
- Enable two-factor authentication when available.
