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.
