9 Tips to Secure Your Accounts with Strong Passwords

9 Tips to Secure Your Accounts with Strong Passwords

A strong password is a password that is difficult for others to guess or crack and typically contains a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Tips to Secure Your Accounts with Strong Passwords:

Use a Long Password

The longer your password, the harder it is to crack. Aim for a password with at least 12 characters, although 16 or more is even better.

Mix It Up

Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters like punctuation marks or symbols. Avoid using easily guessable patterns like “1234” or “qwerty”.

Avoid Dictionary Words

Dictionary words are easy to guess, try to use a combination of unrelated words instead. You can also use a passphrase, which is a combination of words that are easy to remember but hard to guess.

Don’t Use Personal Information

Avoid using personal information like your name, birthdate, or address in your password. This information can be easily guessed or found online.

Use a Password Manager

Consider using a password manager to generate and store your passwords. Password managers can create strong, unique passwords for each of your accounts and can also autofill them for you when you need to log in.

Don’t Reuse Passwords

Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. If one password is compromised, all your other accounts are at risk. Instead, use a unique password for each account.

Change Your Passwords Regularly

Change your passwords every few months, or immediately if you suspect that your account has been compromised. This can help prevent unauthorized access to your accounts.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Two-factor authentication (2FA) adds an extra layer of security to your accounts. It requires you to enter a code sent to your phone or email in addition to your password, making it harder for attackers to access your accounts.

Keep Your Passwords Private

Don’t share your passwords with anyone, including friends, family, or coworkers. If you need to grant someone access to your account, use a separate account with its own unique password.
