Best practices for setting a strong password
- Length: Make your password at least 12 characters long, like a little story!
- Mix it Up: Use a mix of letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), and symbols (!,@,#,$,*).
- Make it unique: Avoid using the same password for different logins or accounts. Avoid using easily guessable information like names, birthdays, or common words.
- Avoid Personal Info: Don't use your name or birthday in your password, to keep it super-secret!
- Change Regularly: Consider changing your password from time to time.
- Avoid Common Words: Skip using easy-to-guess words, like your favorite animal or color.
- Consider Passphrases: Use a fun sentence or phrase that's easy for you to remember, like "I Love Ice Cream!"
- Enable 2FA: Sometimes, you can add an extra lock to your information called Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), making it even harder for anyone to get in!
- Be wary of public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi networks can be easily compromised by attackers. Avoid entering sensitive information, such as passwords, while connected to a public Wi-Fi network.
