Creating a strong and secure password is crucial for protecting your online accounts and personal information. Here are some tips to help you create a secure password:

Tips for Creating a Secure Password

  1. Length: Aim for at least 12 characters. Longer passwords are harder to crack.
  2. Complexity: Use a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
  3. Avoid Common Words: Do not use easily guessable words like "password" or "123456".
  4. Unique for Each Account: Use a different password for each account to prevent a single breach from affecting multiple accounts.
  5. Use Passphrases: A passphrase is a sentence or combination of words that is easier to remember than a traditional password.

Example of a Weak Password
