Creating a strong password is crucial for protecting your account and personal information. Below are some guidelines to help you create a secure password:

Best Practices

  • Length: Aim for at least 12 characters. Longer passwords are generally more secure.
  • Complexity: Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
  • Avoid Common Words: Don't use easily guessable words or phrases.
  • Unique Passwords: Use a different password for each of your accounts.
  • Regular Updates: Change your password regularly to maintain security.

Tips

  • Use Passphrases: A passphrase is a sentence or combination of words that is easier to remember than a traditional password. For example: "BlueSky2023!"
  • Password Managers: Consider using a password manager to store and generate strong passwords for you.
  • Two-Factor Authentication: Enable two-factor authentication for added security.
