1. Which of these is the strongest password practice?
An 8-character password with a couple of symbols The same complex password reused across all your accounts A unique 16+ character passphrase for every account, stored in a password manager Your pet’s name plus your birth year
2. Why should you avoid reusing your BG password on personal accounts (email, social media, banking)?
It’s against BG’s dress code policy A breach on one site could let an attacker into all your other accounts Personal accounts don’t support long passwords It slows down your login speed
3. What does Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) add to your login?
A second proof of identity, so a stolen password alone isn’t enough to get in A faster way to log in without a password An automatic password reset every 30 days A backup password stored by IT
4. True or False: MFA is only useful for work accounts, not personal ones like social media or banking apps.
True False — enable MFA everywhere it’s offered, personal accounts included
5. You get a prompt on your phone approving a login you didn’t request. What should you do?
Approve it — it’s probably fine Ignore it and hope it goes away Deny it, change your password immediately, and report it Forward it to a colleague to check
6. What is the minimum password length BG Shield recommends?
6 characters 8 characters 12 characters 14+ characters
7. Which authentication method is generally safer than SMS codes for MFA?
An emailed one-time code An authenticator app or biometrics (Face/Touch ID) A secret security question A written backup code kept at your desk
8. True or False: adding a “1” or “!” to a password you’ve used before counts as a brand-new password.
True False — a tweaked old password is still an old password
9. Someone calls claiming to be “BG IT Support” and asks you to read out your password to “verify your account.” What should you do?
Read it out — IT needs it to help you Decline, hang up, and report it — IT will never ask for your password Give a slightly different password instead Ask a colleague to give theirs instead
10. Roughly how much longer can it take to crack a random 16-character password compared to an 8-character one?
About twice as long A few hours longer Billions of years longer No difference — length doesn’t matter
