Cyber-Hygiene Routine: A "Checklist" for monthly password rotation and MFA audits. The worksheet should be 4+ pages.

This resource focuses on establishing a systematic monthly routine for maintaining strong cybersecurity practices, specifically targeting password rotation and multi-factor authentication (MFA) audits. It includes fundamental concepts such as password rotation—changing passwords regularly to minimize unauthorized access—and MFA, which requires multiple verification methods for identity confirmation. The document outlines a four-step monthly routine: Inventory (listing active accounts), Assess (checking for weak passwords and missing MFA), Update (rotating passwords and enabling security features), and Verify (testing logins and safely storing backup codes). It emphasizes best practices for password strength, provides a self-assessment checklist and guidelines for maintaining a secure digital environment. The document also offers troubleshooting tips for MFA issues and encourages users to design a personalized monthly calendar for their cybersecurity tasks.
