This protocol goes hand in hand with a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)<\/strong>, another site protocol. SSL encrypts information passed between the site and a user’s web browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n HTTPS and SSL have become the norms on the internet.

Using a password generator makes creating, storing, updating, and managing complex passwords a quick and intuitive process. It can help you reduce security vulnerabilities and safeguard administrator accounts related to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can also encourage people who have access to your site\u2019s backend to frequently update their passwords.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUse Secure Web Protocols<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
