Here are essential guidelines to create and maintain secure passwords:

  1. Use Strong, Unique Passwords
    Avoid common words or patterns. Combine letters, numbers, and symbols.

    secure_password
    *Example:* `T7m$pL9!qZ2@` is stronger than `password123`.

  2. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
    Add an extra layer of security beyond just passwords.

    mfa_authentication
    🔒 MFA reduces risk of unauthorized access significantly.

  3. Avoid Reusing Passwords
    Use unique passwords for different accounts.

  4. Store Passwords Securely
    Use a password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password.

  5. Regularly Update Passwords
    Change passwords periodically, especially for critical accounts.
