Create and use strong passwords
Strong passwords allow protection to personal information and online transaction safety. There are two major things to keep in mind when making passwords. You not only want them to be lengthy but also difficult to figure out. They should consist of letters, symbols, grammar marks, and numerals and be mixed lower and upper case letters. You want to use a variety of all of these. Also make sure it’s easy to remember.
There are some strategies people use when making strong passwords some of these are picking a sentence that means something to you for example: I love to sing, dance, and, act. You then take the first letter of each word and keep punctuationàIlts,d,a,a. Now make it difficultàiLts,D,a,A. If you feel it should be longer you can add numbers and/or symbols. Once you think you have a strong password you can use a “secure password checker” and it will tell you if your password is strong. Do not use dictionary words from any language (forwards or backwards), common sequences (ABC, 123), or personal information. Be sure to change your password frequently.
