Using strong passwords is crucial to protecting your online accounts and sensitive information from cyber threats. Follow these best practices to secure your passwords and reduce the risk of hacking.

1️⃣ Use a Strong Password

✅ A strong password should:

• Be at least 12–16 characters long

• Include uppercase (A-Z) and lowercase (a-z) letters

• Contain numbers (0-9)

• Use special characters (!@#$%^&*()_+ etc.)

❌ Avoid weak passwords like password123, admin, or qwerty.

Example of a Strong Password:

✅ G9$t3h@Vp0!x2M#

2️⃣ Use a Passphrase Instead of a Password

A passphrase is a long, easy-to-remember combination of random words.

✅ Example:

Pineapple!Rocket$Tiger88

🔹 Easier to remember than a random password but still very secure.

3️⃣ Never Reuse Passwords

🚫 DO NOT use the same password for multiple websites.
