Safety Dashboard score is the total score of all your login passwords that is stored in your vault. Each of the website passwords is analyzed to identify the strength and is used as an input for your final Safety Dashboard score. The stronger your password is, the more difficult it is to misuse and abuse your login. Hence, improving the strength of each login is important and it helps in increasing the Safety Dashboard score.
The following factors affect your individual Safety Dashboard score:
| Factors |
Description |
|---|---|
| Password strength |
If the password strength is less than 90%, it affects your login password score. |
| Password duration |
If the login password that you use on a website is more than 6 months old, it affects your login password score. |
| Duplicate password |
If the login password is duplicated on more than one website, the login password score is affected proportionately. |
For websites having passwords less than 90% score, set a strong password by using any of the following features.
Change Now
Safety Dashboard supports the Change Now feature for select websites. On supported websites, it provides a guided experience that lets you copy your current password, generate a strong new password, and update the Norton Password Manager vault after the password is changed. On future visits, the new strong password will be available for autofill.
Password Generator
Whenever you navigate to a new login page and create a new login, use the Password Generator to generate a strong password.
