A secret word or phrase that proves your identity to access accounts or systems. Like a key to your digital house.
Using a strong, unique password for each account helps prevent hackers from accessing your information.
A password is a general authentication secret, not a cloud service. All major cloud providers support passwords for signing in to their consoles and for some services, but they generally recommend stronger options like MFA and federated identity (SSO) instead of relying only on passwords.
