DAY 2 · MODULE 6
Password Security
Understand password strength, storage, authentication controls and MFA.
Understand the concept
Password length
Character diversity
Password policy
Password manager concepts
MFA
Authentication
Secure storage
Why this matters
Passwords should be protected through strong storage and authentication controls, not just complexity rules.

Interactive visualization loads here.
Stage 2 Interactive Lab
Open Interactive LabOperate this concept in a larger realtime simulation and save your practical score.
Perform the activity
- Use a training-only password in the live strength visualizer.
- Run the Python password-strength exercise.
- Compare structure checks and explain their limits.
Workshop safety: Activities involving scanning, web vulnerabilities or security testing must be performed only on the assigned training target or intentionally vulnerable lab.
Read and understand the working example
import string
password = "training-only"
# check length, case, numbers and symbolsOpen in Browser Code LabProve your understanding
Modify the Python checker to require 12 characters and display a clear pass/fail summary.
