Tips for Creating a Secure Password

  • Use a mix of characters: Include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • Avoid common words: Do not use easily guessable words or sequences.
  • Length matters: Aim for a password that is at least 12 characters long.
  • Use a password manager: Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords.
