How to create a strong password?

• Use a long password. Short passwords are easily guessable.
• Include a combination of uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and special characters (#, $, !, etc.) in your password. This makes your password more complex and robust.
• Avoid using personal information (such as your name, birthdate, etc.) or commonly guessed passwords.
• Use unique passwords for each account and avoid reusing the same password across multiple accounts. This way, if one of your accounts is compromised, it won’t affect your other accounts.
