Best Password Security Practices
- Use Strong Passwords
- Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
- Aim for at least 12-15 characters for optimum security.
- Avoid Common Words and easily guessable passwords like "password123," "qwerty," or "123456."
- Unique Passwords for Each Account. Don’t reuse passwords across multiple sites. If one site gets hacked, your other accounts remain safe.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, like a code sent to your phone.
- Update your passwords at least every 3-6 months to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
- Be Wary of Phishing Scams. Don’t click on suspicious links or provide your password in response to unexpected emails or messages.
- Regularly update your operating system, browser, and any software to protect against security vulnerabilities.
- Regularly check and monitor your accounts for any suspicious activity and report it immediately.
- Keep your passwords safe. Don't log in to sensitive accounts on public Wi-Fi networks
