Crafting the perfect password
Here are five tips for creating a strong password:
- Make your password at least 16 characters long.
- Include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and
symbols. - Don’t use common dictionary words or phrases.
- Don’t use sequential numbers or letters.
- Don’t use personal information (pet names, home addresses, etc.)
Passwords that do not follow all the above criteria are considered weak and are
more vulnerable to being compromised by cybercriminals.
