Creating a Strong Password

A robust password should be long, ideally more than 12 characters, and include a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid common words and phrases, as these are the first to be tried in brute force attacks.

Use Unique Passwords for Different Accounts:

Using the same password across multiple accounts increases your vulnerability. If one account is breached, all other accounts using the same password are at risk. Manage this with a reputable password manager, which can generate and store complex passwords for each of your accounts securely.
