Creating strong passwords is essential for protecting your online accounts. Here are key tips:

1. Use Complex Passwords

  • Avoid common words or patterns (e.g., 123456, password)
  • Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols (e.g., P@ssw0rd!)
  • Example: P@7s$9V!qL2m

  • Use authenticator apps, SMS codes, or hardware tokens
