What is password protection in computer?
Password protection is an access control technique that helps keep important data safe from hackers by ensuring it can only be accessed with the right credentials. Password protection is one of the most common data security tools available to users—but they are easily bypassed if not created with hackers in mind.
Is it a good practice to include the account or user name in the password why or why not?
On including username in the password you are making the brute-force attack easier, as attacker knows some characters already about the password. It significantly reduces the guessing time.
