How to Create Strong Passwords

Strong passwords are your first line of defense against hackers. Here's what makes a password secure:

✅ Strong Password Characteristics

• Length: At least 12-16 characters (longer is better)
• Variety: Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
• Uniqueness: Different password for each account
• Randomness: Avoid dictionary words, names, or patterns
• Unpredictable: No personal information (birthdays, names)

❌ Weak Password Examples

• password123
• qwerty12345
• JohnDoe1990
• admin@123
• 123456789

Password Security Tips

• Use a password manager to store unique passwords
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible
• Change passwords immediately if you suspect a breach
• Never share passwords via email or text
• Don't reuse passwords across multiple sites
