Tip: Creating Strong, Secure Passwords
May 2025
Your password is your first line of defense against hackers, so make it count! Creating strong, secure passwords is one of the easiest ways to protect your accounts and personal information online.
Here are five simple tips to help you build passwords that stand strong:
Make it Long
The longer the password, the harder it is to crack. Aim for at least 12 characters.
Mix it Up with Symbols
Combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters for extra strength.
Avoid Personal Info
Stay away from using names, birthdays, or easy-to-guess words.
Use Unique Passwords for Every Account
Reusing passwords makes it easier for hackers to access multiple accounts if they crack just one.
Use a Password Manager
A password manager can help you create, store, and manage strong passwords safely and easily.
Taking a few extra minutes to strengthen your passwords can make a big difference in keeping your information secure!
