Safety Net's Cybersecurity Course
Chapter 3: Passwords
Passwords are the keys to our online accounts, and creating strong and unique passwords is essential. Here are 3 tips to keep in mind when creating a strong and secure password.
-
Use a password that is at least 12 characters long. The longer the password, the harder it is to crack.
-
Create a password that includes a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Mixing different character types increases the complexity and also makes it harder for attackers to guess or crack your password.
-
Don’t include personal information such as your name, birth date, or any easily guessable details. Attackers can often find such information online, making it easier to guess your password.
