Ways to Improve Your Password
Making a Strong Password
Do not reuse any of your existing passwords for any accounts you care about! Password reuse is very insecure! If it's too much to remember, write the passwords down in a secure place or use a password manager. |
|
Attackers commonly try to log into many different websites with the usernames and passwords they obtain from other sites' data breaches. |
|
Make your password at least 12 characters, and consider including uppercase letters, digits, and/or symbols in unpredictable places. |
|
Attackers know that people often put numbers and symbols at the end of their password and uppercase letters at the beginning. Be different! |
|
One way to make a strong password is to create a sentence that no one's ever said before and use the first letter or two of each word as your password, mixing in other types of characters. |
|
Avoid basing your password around the names of people or pets, things you like (e.g., favorite songs, cars), sports, or birthdates. |
|
Many other people do the same, making it easy for attackers to guess. |
