Passwords are only one layer
A strong password matters, but it is not enough by itself. Password reuse, shared logins, old employees, and phishing can defeat even a complicated password.
Two-factor methods are not all equal
SMS codes are convenient but depend on phone access and can be vulnerable. Authenticator apps are stronger but require a backup plan. Passkeys can be excellent but need careful setup across devices. Hardware keys can be strong for high-risk accounts, but they require discipline.
Backup codes are not optional
Backup codes are the emergency exit. They should be stored safely, not buried in a random screenshot, lost in an old phone, or visible to the wrong people.
Admin access should be intentional
Business accounts should not rely on one person, one device, or one personal email. Owners need a sensible structure for primary admins, backup admins, recovery information, and offboarding.
Security should match the business
A local contractor, a small agency, an ecommerce seller, and a medical office may need different controls. The point is to reduce the biggest risks without making daily work impossible.
