In this guide we will go through different ways that you can do to help improve your 'Security Score' in Uniqkey.
Firstly, to get a better understanding of what the Security Dashboard displays, please check our guide: Understand the Security Dashboard
There are certain factors that Uniqkey takes into consideration when ranking your login's security score and two corresponding icons displaying the level of awareness you should have for each logins security.
indicates the password is weak, meaning that it doesn't live up to the guidelines consisting of:
- Minimum 12 characters with both lower and uppercase
- Include one or more numbers
- Include one or more symbols
indicates the password is being reused across multiple logins or password has been detected as 'breached', meaning the login is no longer safe and should be updated immediately.
Follow this guide on how to update your login's password to a stronger one:
Besides from these two icons, the security score percentage is calculated by:
- The strength of your password (70% of total score). Each password is analyzed to determine its strength, it varies between 0% and 100%.
- Whether the password is reused across multiple domains, if so - it takes 40% off the login score.
- Whether you are using a multifactor authentication (30% of total score).
- Average security score - the sum of all logins scores divided by the total number of logins.
- Logins that do not have a password are excluded from this statistic.
