  1. Use a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
  2. Avoid using easily guessable information, such as your name or birthdate.
  3. Use a long password, ideally at least 12 characters.
  4. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
  5. Use a passphrase made up of random words, for example, “correct horse battery staple”
    • You can change this using numbers letters, and symbols (Corr3ct Hor5e 8@ttery 5tapl3)
