Passwords should be at least 6 characters long
and include upper and lower case letters
Don't include any personal information
in your password, such as your date of
birth or real name
Put numbers and special characters in your
password. This makes it harder for computer
programs to guess.
If your password for an account has
to be a certain length, make the
most of it. Don't just repeat the
same short password again.
Passwords that use a
certain pattern can be
easier to remember, but
just make sure it's not
too predictable
You can use sites like Howsecureismypassword.net
to check how long it would take a computer to crack
your password and get tips on how to make it better
If you can, use a biometric password such as your
fingerprint, retina pattern, facial recognition or voice
recognition.
How to keep your password safe
Don't use the same password
for multiple accounts
Change your password at least
once every three months
NEVER write your
password down, even
on your phone
Similarly, don't screenshot or take a photo
of your password to help you remember
Don't tell ANYONE your password,
unless it's to help you remember it
and you completely trust them
