Quick Tips: Creating a Strong Password
- Use passwords that are not based on easily accessible or guessed personal information.
- Use the longest password or passphrase that the password system allows.
- Never use personal details in your password.
- Capital and small Letters, numbers, spaces, and other special characters should all be included in passwords.
- You can make up a simple sentence that you can always remember, then take the first letter of each word in the sentence and add numbers and symbols to it to make a strong password. For example: “I am active and love all kinds of sports!” So the password will be: IALAKOS!@6.
- The length of a password should be at least 12 characters. The longer your password is, the longer it will take for hackers to crack it.
- Use passwords that are not easily guessable phrases, words, or sentences.
