Creating a strong password

Protect your account with a strong, unique password:

  • Length: Use at least 12 characters (longer is better).
  • Complexity: Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
  • Uniqueness: Don't reuse passwords from other accounts.
  • Avoid Personal Info: Don't use birthdays, names, or common words.
  • Use a Password Manager: Tools like 1Password or LastPass help generate and store passwords.

Good Example: T8$mK#2vLp@nQ9!

Bad Example: password123 or john1990
