Lesson 4
Storage and Sharing
Use password managers, MFA, and safe sharing practices.
Generating a strong password is only the first step. The secret also needs to be stored and shared safely.
Practical rules:
- Save important credentials in a password manager or secret manager
- Enable MFA where possible
- Avoid sharing passwords through ordinary chat, email, tickets, or screenshots
- Rotate credentials after accidental exposure
- Use separate passwords for separate systems
For production systems, prefer secret managers and scoped credentials over shared human passwords.
